Castaways
Castaways is a game for 2-4 players where they create their own characters and sail across an imaginary sea on five bottles while improvising scenes to gift each other, ultimately setting off into the infinite expanses of open ocean waters with no hope in sight as waves carry messages. The gameplay involves creative storytelling tools available at every iteration that are unique thanks to a high level of playability without much preparation required; it is also possible for players and characters alike can learn about identity values like War, memories, meaning of identities through the game's narrative freedom which promotes collective narration with no restrictions on role or creativity. It includes an Italian Chamber Orchestra scenario titled "Castaways" written by Oscar Biiffi that utilizes character sheets to play out improvised scenes as five bottles are built and used for a fictional boat ride across open ocean waters during their improvisation sessions, ultimately leading characters towards the meaning of identity values like War within this game.
