A great evil has awoken. Its ominous presence seeps through your land: whispering, corrupting, biding its time. The end of your world is coming.

You are a relic hunter: a master of discovering leylines and following them to find the secrets hidden in your world. 

You are also the only hope against the coming evil.

You must discover 5 powerful relics, each hidden somewhere in your land, so the evil may be defeated. Can you find all 5 relics before the end of your world?

Follow the Leylines

Leylines is a collaborative worldbuilding game about discovering secret relics and trying to save the world.

• Make your own map full of leylines, places of power, and hidden relics.
• Explore a land and people who are facing the end of their world.
• Try to defeat the ominous evil that comes, or watch the world crumble if you fail.

Gameplay feels contemplative and creative, but also tense. If you like worldbuilding, map-making, or hunting for lost treasure, Leylines is for you.

Gameplay at a Glance

• 1-4 players: Play solo or with up to 3 friends.
• 1-2 hours: Great for shorter game nights.
• Simple rules: Everything is on just one sheet of paper.
• Any setting: Want to play a fantasy game? Sci fi? Solar-punk? Make a leyline map and relics for any setting.
• Standalone or campaign prep: Perfect as a standalone game, or prepare for your next TTRPG campaign with a map, leylines, evocative locations, secret dungeons, and powerful relics!

Play In-person or Online

Leylines is great to play in-person, but you can also play online! You will need:

• A virtual dice roller. You can use my website, or something like Roll20.  
• A virtual white board to allow everyone to draw on the map. I like to use Miro, but any virtual whiteboard works.

Get it for FREE!
