Ithaca in the Cards
Made for Global Game Jam 2019 – What Home Means to You Graphic design and layout by Vee Hendro (https://veerpgdesigns.com/) You are fellow travelers on a perilous journey trying to make your way home. The goal of the game is to make it back safely. On your journey, you will encounter various challenges using a blackjack-driven card system, and reflect on what drives you on your journey home. This is a GM-less/GM-lite collaborative story game for 2-5 players. A game should take about 1-2 hours, and you will need a standard deck of playing cards, writing implements and paper or index cards to play.
