Chain×Link

Chain×Link is a game about raising a revolution by reappropriating the tools of tyranny that confine you. Play as a group of Breakers, rebel leaders condemned to mine a magic-enhancing resource that feeds the Crown’s imperial pursuits. Only by working together can your Breakers gain support for your disparate causes, destroy the machinations of your oppressors, and ascend to join the uprising that you helped build. 

The Core System

Whenever a Breaker or Faction wants something and there is opposition, the players participate in a Trial to determine the outcome. Each player makes a Contribution Roll by assembling a dice pool, rolling the dice and selecting any die as the result. A contribution is successful if the result is equal to or greater than the previous result.  A Trial is a success if the sum of all successful results meets or exceeds the Trial Number. However, only the player with the last successful contributed determines how rewards are distributed. By keeping the best rewards for oneself, a player gives their Faction the best chance to achieve their revolution. 

Trials require the participation of multiple players, nothing can be achieved alone.
