Player's Guide

Introduction

Welcome to Bamomaki School of Magic and Wonders! As a new student, you're going to spend your next few years learning magic, cooking delicious food, and doing battle with milkshakes!

Bamomaki is a role-playing board game for 2 or more players, where you advance through each day in a persistent way. You will spend as much or as little time during each of your game sessions, studying and adventuring!

To start with, you should Create a character and ensure everyone in your play-group is ready before starting! You will also need a player to act as the Game Master, who will guide you through your time at Bamomaki.

Role-playing Board Game

Bamomaki is a role-playing board game, in the sense that it's a board game where both the players and the game master will describe their actions and what happens in a way where the characters are involved, rather than simply stating they're performing an action.

Because of this, you should try to go with a whimsical mentality, and try to have as much fun as you can with your fellow players!

Preparing to play

If this is your first time playing

The Game Master should give an overview of the sort of experience you're about to have. Each Game Master may make you experience the game in a different way, so this is an important step.

Each player should have their character sheet finalized and ready to go.

The Game Master should give an intro to the world and each student, then start the first session in the Year 1 Manual.

If you're continuing from a previous session

To start the session, the Game Master should recall what happened in the last session and give an overview of what the players are about to do.

Then, the Game Master should resume as if the session never ended.

Ending a session

Each player and the game master should take notes about how things are and which items/state each of the relevant characters are in.

It is important to have enough information to be able to resume the session later. As a result, it's best to finish the session when there's no active event happening.
