Manifested Destiny
Players: 3 to 6 Supplies: 52 card deck, writing utensils, 1d6, 1d4 Time to Play: 1 to 2 hours Manifested Destiny is a worldbuilding game set in the last year of a crumbling empire. Players will take the role of administrators, and with limited resources and a useless bureaucracy, try to uphold their duties as the nation loses its facade of control. It is inspired by games like Alex Robert's 'For the Queen' and Avery Alder's 'The Quiet Year.' Manifested Destiny was funded by a Story Synth Microgrant. The entire game can be played in-browser for free here. This itchio page provides a PDF and text version of the game. Written by A. A. Voigt (@aaronsxl on Twitter).
