Then deal out cards in sets of two cards equal to two times the number of players plus one additional. In turn order, players draft a pair of cards until they have a total of 7 cards in hand.

In order, the actions are: Press: Advance on the Press track to determine player and tie-breaking order. Money: Receive money to be used for special actions. Characters: Take a character with a special ability or scoring up to the value of cards played. Building plans: Take a number of skyscrapers from the general supply. Prestige: Receive points equal to your bidding value. I addition, the first and second place bidder gets to increase the value of a borough. Skyscrapers: Players place skyscrapers from their board into borough currently being visited by the mayor. The game is played over five rounds (there are six boroughs, one is randomly not visited each game).

Published by Aaron LimDistributed by Deernicorn Distro An Altogether Different River is a GM-less roleplaying game meant for 2 to 4 players and a single session of about 3-4 hours. It is about creating a Town together, and seeing how it changes through the lens of those who left it and returned, and those who stayed throughout. It is about returning home and grappling with what has and hasn’t changed. At the start of the game, you will collaboratively build a Town out of several elements. You will draw two maps for the Town: one for the Town Then, and one for the Town Now. You then create your characters and choose whether they left the Town and returned, or stayed throughout the period. You also highlight certain questions you want to explore through your characters and relationships. You will track this through a relationship map which you draw between the Towns. Then you introduce and explore different aspects of the Town and play through different scenes to flesh out the Town and the characters, seeking to answer the different questions you have. COMPONENTS AND DETAILS 28-page black-and-white zine PDF download included Number of players: 2-4 playersStyle: GMless world-building gameCreators: Written by Aaron Lim
