The Quiet Year v1

This is a game that is normally 2-4 players but we can do it with more as well.

Basically we take turns describing the struggles of a post apocalyptic community and stuff happens...wow that was vague...

So is a lot with this game so I'll highlight the main stuff now!

At the start we each add one major feature to the map, in other words the terrain!
We then pick resources the people NEED and decide which is abundant...the rest are scarce...

Then play begins.

You receive a card, chosen at random, which has instructions or a choice that has to be made, and these will change the fates of the peoples.

Then you can pick one of 2 things:

• Discover something new: Something is found by the people, or perhaps there is a new situation! Add it to the map and say what's up
  
• Start a project: The people begin a project that will take multiple weeks to complete! Longest is 6 weeks and shortest 2.
  Note: When the number of weeks runs out and the project is done, whomever's turn it is gets to decide how it went
  

Then your turn ends as so does that week and then the next person gets a card.

We ourselves are not villagers or people of the village but instead observers, onlookers, weavers of fates etc. though we can give random villagers names and roles, will heroes rise, families live and peace reign? Or will fear give in and all hopes and dreams fade.... that falls to us...and the cards....

Game One:

I'll start us off with the first feature being:

Spoiler:

We are on an island.

If ya wanna play go ahead and add a major feature to the map and welcome to this journey :0

I don't know what I'm doing

How about a ravine in the south eastern part of the island?

For some reason I want to suggest a massive, frick-off tree on the left-center of the island. One of those world tree type things, y'know?

Ominous mountain dead center of the island. Because how else did the island come to exist?

Spoiler:

now the resources the people need....

They need wood!

Note: the needs can be as specific or vague as you want, they can also be intangibles such as hope and as silly as anime.

I'm gonna dump one on food.

Does food count as water?

nah though I'd prob specify drinking water :0

Then I want them to search for drinking water!

Waiting on Lief now right?

si mi amigo

The finest of butts

*pokes Nopon's butt*

alright, so we have:

wood
food
drinking water
good butts

as the needs. Now we have an abundance of one of em and the rest we have a scarcity of. Vote now for the abundance!

Also where should we put the village on the island?
