What is Untold
Untold is a Card Based Roleplaying Game (CBRPG). First, it is a Roleplaying Game in which you take an alternate persona, or "character" and cooperate with other players and a Game Master (GM) to tell a collaborative story. While most RPGs require a number of expensive rulebooks and complicated character tracking sheets, Untold is different because it is card based. Untold has NO books because all the rules are on the cards, and the cards themselves replace the character tracking sheets. With Untold less is more.
Untold is also a point based game: all of the cards cost a certain number of Untold Points or UP. When you start play, the GM will set a number of UP for you to build your character from. You can play cards to create your character until the total of all of their UP equals the Untold Points that the GM provided.
