Tolerance is an asymmetric set collection game with variable player goals for 3 to 5 players representing the conflict between Protestants and Catholics in 16th and early 17th Century England. This game uses a trick-taking mechanic, where the winner of each trick gets to perform the played cards' actions, whether beneficial or not.

The game is played over three rounds, spanning the reigns of Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth I, and King James, with each round covering the reign of one monarch.

Tolerance aims to convey to the players how much suffering mankind brings upon itself due to an allegedly - "wrong" belief - a topic that is just as topical today as it was almost 500 years ago.

With art inspired by classical artists such as Albrecht Durer, Hans Holbein, and Hieronymus Bosch, Tolerance presents players with amazing images and art that sparks everybody's imagination.
