I'd like to get one of my favourite roleplaying/storytelling and cartography games to the table!

We can decide when we prep to start if we want to do a full game or a shorter version.

GAME: The Quiet Year
ORGANIZER: bboileau
TIME: 10 am
DURATION: 120-240 mins
PLAYERS: 4
DETAILS:

Build community after the collapse.

The Quiet Year is a map game. You define the struggles of a community living after the collapse of civilization, and attempt to build something good within their quiet year. Every decision and every action is set against a backdrop of dwindling time and rising concern.

The game is played using a deck of cards – each of the 52 cards corresponds to a week during the quiet year. Each card triggers certain events – bringing bad news, good omens, project delays and sudden changes in luck. At the end of the quiet year, the Frost Shepherds will come, ending the game.

The Quiet Year occupies an interesting space – part roleplaying game, part cartographic poetry.
Here is my collection, trades, and wishlist on bgg if something should peak your interest!

This part sounds really interesting.
Let me know if you want to me to bring out a specific game: Game List

Yeah. The game is really inventive and the storytelling is entirely flexible and collaborative. The designer doesn't identify who the Frost Shepherds are, but leaves it to the imagination of the players.
