Aqua Tofana: a Baroque Solo Game about Poisoning Your Husband is a TTRPG that explores the lengths you would go through to escape a marriage when there is no legal way out. Inspired by the real-life aqua tofana poisonings of the 1600s, this game puts you in the position of a woman in 1630s Italy, bound to a man and a marriage that she does not want but cannot leave. Using a tarot deck, you will journal your thoughts, hopes, and experiences. You might also be able to help other women avoid your fate.
