Dawn of the First Day
Dawn involves time loops where players survive before an end-time disaster happens; the player must make decisions to save their community while facing opposition or betrayal by some people in their neighbourhood, and they can also turn back time for a few days leading up to it. To play, you'll need playing cards with jokes left on them as inspiration from Texas Hold 'Em but is more focused on survival than winning big at poker; the game includes elements of Fiascos like dealing card combinations during rounds before settling down in one place while waiting together and ERS for a final showdown against an end-time disaster.
