The game card is the entire game, about 13k characters: every scene and rule, and the answers the AI referees from. Paste it into an assistant that can't open links, without reading it first: it gives the game away. The Skill installs Bramblewood into Claude on any plan: download it, then turn on code execution under Settings → Capabilities and add it at Customize → Skills → + → Upload a skill.

Bramblewood is a gentle, all-ages family RPG your AI runs as game master: a woodland festival you set right with kindness. 1–4 players, 30–60 min a run, free to play inside ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. No signup and nothing to install: open it in your assistant, paste the play prompt into another, or paste the whole card where links don't open.

How to start

  1. Open it in your AI. Tap Open in ChatGPT or Open in Claude, and press send, or paste the play prompt into any assistant that can open links. Sit with your child so you can read along.
  2. The game loads. The AI sets the scene in the woodland on festival morning and offers three friends to play.
  3. Play a woodland friend. Pick the kind mouse, the brave badger or the curious sparrow, then say what you do. The AI narrates gently and rolls the dice for you: in code if your app can run it, otherwise off the printed dice tape.
  4. Save when you stop. Ask for a save code before you close the chat. To resume, open the game again in a new chat and paste the code once it loads, or use aigamecards.com/resume.

Questions

Is this safe and appropriate for children?
Yes. Bramblewood is our all-ages card, made for kids around 6 to 10 playing with a grown-up. There is no violence, no scary imagery, and nothing frightening; every problem is solved with kindness and cleverness. The worst that happens is a spilled treat or a friend who needs a hug. Because it runs inside a general chat app, a parent should still play along.
Do I need to install anything to play?
No. Open it in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and it plays, with no signup, download or paid plan beyond the chat app you already use. The dice are rolled inside the chat, in code if your app can run it, otherwise off a printed list on the card.
How long does it take, and can we stop partway?
About 30 to 60 minutes, a good length for younger players. You can stop at any time: ask for a save code, then later open the game again in a new chat, in the same app or a different one, and paste the code once it loads.
Can one child play alone, or do we need a group?
A child can be the only player, with a grown-up beside them reading along. Up to four can share the woodland friends and take turns deciding. The AI never plays a child's character for them.
What is Ironquill?
Ironquill is our original tabletop role-playing system that an AI runs as game master. Bramblewood is its gentle, all-ages story: the same dice and choices as our other cards, told warmly for families.

Gentle, all-ages — no violence or scary themes.
