Ghoulash

Published 2001

Ghoulash is the world's most compact RPG, a two-player strategy game played entirely on paper, using specially designed Scenario Charts. Each scenario adds a different twist to the Basic Rules, such as ways to avoid obstacles, movement variations and additional traps. Charts are available in two ways, as downloadable PDFs, purchased at the site, or in pre-printed booklets, which can be ordered at the site or purchased at local brick-and-mortar stores. All that is needed to play is a chart for each player and a pen or pencil. The game is kind of a miniature dungeon crawl, with each player serving as the others' GM. (It also has been compared to Battleship, in that each player hides obstacles from the other.)
