The definitive edition of the dark folkloric storytelling experience is here, featuring a unique card-driven framework engine and a GM-less cooperative structure for the ultimate atmospheric narrative adventure.

Zhenya's Wonder Tales (published by Bully Pulpit Games) invites players to step out of the cold and pull up a chair with an innocent, kind-hearted host named Zhenya. Designed by Jason Morningstar, this title is a collection of six standalone, highly narrative card games rooted deeply in the eerie, sprawling traditions of Slavic and Baltic folklore. Moving away from traditional rulesets, there are no stats, dice, or math here—instead, players work together to weave a dark, campfire-style story where every choice edges their characters closer to an uncertain destiny.

The primary strategic focus relies on public move management. Each of the six included replayable tales is driven by a tight, 22-card deck. Players assume the roles of classic folklore archetypes—such as a prince, an orphan, a werewolf, or a monster hunter—each equipped with specific public story beats called "moves." Because these overarching goals are laid open on the table, the group always knows exactly where to direct their collective attention. It is a masterclass in beginner-friendly, high-concept indie RPG design, blending stunning, evocative illustrations by award-winning artist Momatoes with a custom cloth map to deliver an immersive 1-to-2 hour play session that lingers long after the story ends.
