“The Dreaded Majority” is an unofficial fan-made cooperative board game with a free module for Tabletop Simulator. Complete rules are on this site, beginning with the Gameplay Overview and continuing through Equipment and Setup and the Turn Sequence. The rules and cards are subject to revision.

Do you still believe in the Death Of Majority, reader? The First Anonymous’s first essay, lauding what they saw as the promise of eternal peace. After the Church War there was no majority race, no majority religion, no majority language, no majority nationality. Mukta birthed a world so intermixed that no one anymore grew up among people mostly like themselves: the majority of Japanese people did not live in Japan, the majority of Greeks did not live in Greece, so too for every country in the world. Majority died with Church and Nation, the Anonymous proclaimed, and with it war and genocide died too, for they require a majority united, patriots, an ‘us’ and ‘them’ in which ‘us’ is larger, more powerful, capable of overwhelming and defeating ‘them’.
