Huzzah! A Cheapass Renaissance Festival Board Game for 3-8 players

"Welcome to Ye Merrie King James Faire, the oldest and stingiest renfaire in the world. You’ve been performing at this event every summer for as long as you can remember, for reasons you can’t seem to explain. The pay is horrible, the costumes are stuffy, and the season is hot and long. And then there’s Richard.

Richard Muton d’Aleine, the entertainment director of the King James Faire, is picky about almost everything: your style, your props, and your attitude. He can’t stand off-color humor, despises out-of-period songs, and would prefer that your English were a little more unintelligible. More “Sooth” and “Prithee,” less “How’s it hangin’, Lords and Ladies?”

Richard is even pickier than usual this year, because he’s been sent a message from above: the budget is tight, and only one act will be invited to return. Inexplicably, you want to be that act. Though miserable, working for this dreary little faire for another year is slightly better than the thought of getting fired. It’s not something you’re able to explain.

The owners of the King James Faire will be asking themselves two questions when they book next year’s entertainment. Does the public like this act, and does Richard like this act? Unfortunately for you, these two concepts are mutually exclusive. So, all you have to do is please everyone, and you’ll be the sole entertainer at next year’s King James Faire. Huzzah!"
