Polaris: Chivalric Tragedy at Utmost North (2005) is an indie role-playing game[2] written by Ben Lehman and published by These Are Our Games. Polaris is a collaborative roleplaying game, and as such differs from many role-playing games in that there is no single "game master".[2] A player's "opposition" is controlled by the other players in the game.

Polaris won the Indie RPG Award for Innovation (2005)[3] and Indie RPG Game of the Year Award (2005)[4], was "Runner up" for Best Support (2005)[5] and Best Production (2005)[6], and was also "Runner Up" for the Outie Award Best Sui Generis RPG (2005).[7]
