Bluebeards Bride is based on the Powered by the Apocalypse system used in Apocalypse World, Dungeon World, Monsterhearts,Masks, and more. Its a simple system; when your character takes an action that fits a move, the move tells you what happens, or you roll two six-sided dice to find out. Since this is a horror game, a majority of moves use no dice; harkening back to telling ghost stories around the fire.
