A world where memory affects reality in tangible, sometimes terrifying ways. That's Mnemonic.
In this book, you will find rules and procedures for playing out stories in this setting with your group of friends, as well as a collection of short stories and poems from the world of memory. A game of Mnemonic is expected to take roughly 3 hours, but most of the procedures are designed to scale to your needs; if you need to stop early and pick it up later, you can.
To play the game described in this book, you will need a deck of playing cards and some six-sided dice.
