Lampshot

What's inside

Lampshot is a turn-based archery duel fought by shadow puppets. Drag back, let go, and watch your arrow arc across a lamplit paper screen. Hit the head for big damage, or shoot through a rival's control rod and watch that arm go limp. Between turns the oil lamp swings, so every shadow grows and shrinks: a bigger shadow is an easier target, but a further one. Tour eight market towns with Tallow, a one-eyed leather archer, and Old Mother Wick, the puppeteer who tells the tale. Each town brings three bouts, a new rival troupe and a new stage trick, from fishing nets and stilts to paper moths, with bosses Mistress Copperbell and Old Sootbeard waiting. No blood: beaten puppets simply fold and bow out. Inspired by shadow-puppet theatre around the world.
