RULES:

• In this game you take control of a post-apocalyptic community attempting to build itself up over the course of one year, before the mysterious Frost Shepherds arrive to end the game. The goal is to rebuild the community through creative responses, and to survive!

• Every turn represents two months. The Frost Shepherds will arrive in the second winter - You need to be prepared!

• There will be eight seasons total.

• During each turn, a player draws a card. The characters discuss which response to answer, and turn in an answer. This answer will develop what happens to the community over the years.

• You can also submit an action for the community to take every round! This shouldn't be overly complicated*, and you can't magically make up resources - You'll need to rely on what you've got, and your answers to the cards.

• Drawing a card: Every card contains information and choices you can make. Here's an online card shuffler you can use.

Only draw the suit of cards that matches the season:
Hearts = Spring
Diamonds = Summer
Clubs = Autumn
Spades = Winter.

Do not repeat cards! If you get the same card twice, re-roll.

• Failure to build defences against the Frost Shepherds, improve the community or make all resources necessary for survival abundant by the last round will land you in trouble.

*If it is, you might not like where the action goes.

Your runner will be Cycles.

We lack farm tools.

But we can repair them.

Both have inherent dangers.

If we lack them, we no longer have them. I fear they intend to remove one, or the other.

... What about 'we lack fishing rods'? So we can't get fish, but we can get other prey anyway.

I see.

Losing our food supply is out of the question. We should lose a tool with a replaceable function.

Indeed, and we do have food from other sources.

Yeah. It's something important but it won't cripple us.

My vote's for fishing rods.

Do you agree on fishing rods?

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] neverendingstory 2015-01-13 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Fish are not the only source of food.

[personal profile] neverendingstory 2015-01-13 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed.

Repair the farm tools, so that we can get food that way.

ANSWER
What important and basic tools does the community lack?

A fishing pole, because, uh, we can't fish when there is no fishing pole, and we need food?

ACTION
Repair the farm tools.
