PENNY DREADFUN: a role-playing, comedy board game set in Victorian London, full of occultism, historical and literary characters, and an absurd sense of humour. A game for everyone that may be played and replayed over and over again thanks to its huge amount of cards - and all the possible player interactions that it offers! Each player takes on the role of one of ten unusual characters who begin their search for Queen Victoria. Each driven by their own motives, they will have to navigate the streets of industrial revolution London, explore mysterious tombs and underground canals, and finally - make their way through the nine circles of Hell itself! During their journey they will face many foes, collect amazing loot, befriend powerful companions, and, of course - fight each other. The hero that brings Queen Victoria to the Buckingam Palace will be the ultimate winner. It may be the strongest player, it may be the smartest one; it might be the one who found the Queen, but it also might be the one who nicked her at the end of the road. Well, whoever it may be - the winner can be only one!
