*As it was foretold, the world is once more threatened by a great force of evil, and only the chosen heroes can save it. But the bonds between the heroes will be tested on the path towards the Prophecy. To save the world, you might need to sacrifice yourself for the team.*

**For the Team** is a GMless storytelling game focusing on the relationships between 4 - 6 heroes portrayed by 2 - 4 players. In turns, each player draws a question card and sets in place a new moment on the storyline, alternating between scenes from the final battle and the journey towards it. The questions may be answered with a narration or by roleplaying an in-character dialogue with another player.

At the beginning of the program, participants will split into up to 4 groups of 2 - 4 players each. On mutual agreement, a group may choose to play in a language other than English. However, the question cards are only available in English.

The game has been inspired by Alex Roberts' game For the Queen. However, no previous experience with it or Descended From the Queen rulesystem is expected to participate.
