Description
In Words, Wilting you and a friend will take the role of two young lovers of the same age whose love must be concealed. To aid in this, the lovers have created a way to communicate secretly through flowers adorning their outfits, inspired by the Victorian floral language of love. Play consists of you selecting index cards, each featuring a flower from the language you create together, and interpreting the card the other player selected, hoping to remember the hidden meaning you crafted together. You then create a scene together around what the cards meant and if the lovers remembered the language they made. PDF: If you downloaded it before the file was named WordsWiltingV2 please redownload.
