About the Game

The year is 1613 and the Globe Theatre has burned to the ground. William Shakespeare, now retired to Stratford-upon-Avon, is rattled by the news. How will his plays live on without the Globe? Will they have a life beyond his own? He calls you, a plucky and ambitious play-house apprentice, to his chambers with a challenge: rebuild the theatre, retell his stories, and ensure his legacy lives forever.

But when the great Bard dies in 1616 the world as you know it is turned on its head. You will have to use all of the skills learned at Shakespeare's knee to prove yourself a master worthy of the page and stage. Can you work with the members of Shakespeare's company, the King's Men, to cement his legacy and earn your place in the famed troupe?

Visit Shakespeare’s contemporaries to gain valuable resources, experience, and perform actions. Collect the Bard's work into your tableau ahead of peformance seasons in London. Rachet up clamour for your shows by drafting and manipulating valuable genre dice.
