Molly House (engl.)

Description

Molly House is a strategy game for 1 to 5 players aged 14+. Players assume the roles of gender-defying mollies in early 18th-century London, organizing masquerades and navigating dangers from moralistic constables. Draft vice cards to host festivities, avoid arrests, pay bribes, or risk becoming informers undermining the community.

In Molly House, players take on the roles of the gender-defying mollies living in early eighteenth-century London. They organize lavish masquerades and navigate shadowy back alleys, all while avoiding the watchful eyes of moralistic constables determined to dismantle their community. Suspicion is ever-present, as informers may be lurking among them. Players draft hands of vice cards that represent forbidden gestures, desires, and encounters disapproved of by the Society for the Reformation of Manners—a civic group intent on suppressing any behavior deemed deviant in late 17th and early 18th century London. These cards enable players to host joyful festivities with the support of their fellow mollies. Yet, the same cards can also bring danger, leading to arrests and the potential downfall of the molly house. When confronted by the Society's enforcers, players often must pay bribes or risk being coerced into becoming informers. Those who accept must carefully work to undermine the community around Mother Clap’s Molly House, all while avoiding detection by their peers.
