Card-based and diceless games use cards, tokens, prompts, negotiation, or deterministic procedures instead of traditional dice-driven resolution. The appeal is not just novelty: the alternative tool changes pacing, uncertainty, and player control.
Alone in the Ancient City fits card-based / diceless because its resolution tools change how uncertainty, pacing, or control works at the table. A rules-lite solo journaling RPG about exploring the districts of a vast forgotten metropolis.
Choose Zombie World for card-based / diceless play when you want an alternative to ordinary dice resolution. A rules‑lite, card‑driven survival RPG about a community fighting to live through the zombie apocalypse.
