HOW TO PLAY

PHASE 1: SET UP

Define the key details of your world and design the societies that inhabit it.

Use randomized PILLARS as building blocks to create histories and relationships.

Share your societies and establish connections by brainstorming and riffing off other players’ ideas.

PHASE 2: GAMEPLAY

Work together to weave a narrative of how your societies interact when confronted with monumental events.

Learn more about the nuances of each others’ societies by answering DISCOVERY QUESTIONS and determine how GAME CHANGERS impact your societies and their people.

Reflect on the events of the game. How did the societies change? Where they are heading next? Did anomie take hold?
