A Full Course

Well, it looks like I'm aiming for five games, so that'll be 20 reviews. Not too bad.

The five games are arrayed as a Full Course of Love and Death (Two things which link very well with the central theme of Time). All of these games are for 5 players, and and for the most part GM-less.

Appetizer - Escape from Prince Charming - (3 - 3 hr sessions) card based mechanics (trick taking), a fairy tale with a twist as the players play five princesses trying to escape their fate, going from a castle guarded by an ancient beast to a forbidden forest of madness, to a town, where she will confront the suitor who holds her glass accessory. (Terms - Ancient, Glass, commitee)

Main Course 1 - Someone to Love - (10 - 1 hour sessions) card based "Commitee" roll mechanics, round robin dating game for five players. Set in the afterlife. (Terms - Commitee, Emotion, Ancient)

Main Course 2 - Marraige of Persephone - (2 - 6 hour sessions, min 2 weeks between) - dice based challenges based on the law of the gods, players are a recently deceased team of heroes who will be granted a boon for getting things ready for the wedding (not of Persephone, but of a friend of hers among the deceased) and then performing a play during the wedding. Focuses on pleasing the gods who will be attending. (Terms - Law, Team, Actor)

Main Course 3 - One More Hour - (any number of sessions, 8 hours total) - dice-based consumeable mechanic, players are a team of heroes who seeks to complete their mission, knowing only one hour remains. Unfortunately all too mundane obligations weigh them down. What will they do with only one hour to go? (Terms - Steel, Glass, Team, Law)

Dessert - That Oh So Little Death - (1 session, 2 hours) - dice based Laws, and the rest is a secret. (Terms - all of them)

I'm in the midst of writing all of these. The coarse design is finished, so mechanically speaking all that remains is the fine-tuning.
