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 is Cycles.

Let's see...

Which one should we answer? The first one could work. We may have to stall making our caves pretty in favor of something we need to survive.

Yes! We lost some resources, so instead of setting up the caves, we could go out and collect food or rock.

We still have our lake cows, so that helps with food... but do we want variety, or do we want to depend on building more of our cave in case of more attacks?

Hmm... we already escaped a disaster, so the community might be shaken up and feel vulnerable. Building the caves would be a good idea.

Exactly. Morale is just as important as food, water, or shelter.

Our actual action could be a food search, still, though.

[personal profile] universalboy 2015-01-14 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. So we do the first option, and the option is we fortify the new caves shelters, but we fail to decorate it effectively.

And the action is food!
