Thank you for this beautiful work and sharing it so generously. 

I ran this the other week in an online mindful play group and loved it. Folks wanted to do the same one again next time. I said, “y’all, there’s a world of these games!” So we compromised and next time, we’re doing alone in an ancient city. 😂

Hi! I played this yesterday for the first time and I LOVED IT. I’m planning on expanding it with new events and random modifiers if it’s okay :)

yeah totally!

Luv work. A b/w digital version I would also find nice - so the cover pic doesn't use much toner on my home printer.

I played this with a friend and we had a great time exploring the stars together. This is an easy to learn, low prep game that allows for adventurous story telling. We're both fans of Star Trek, so we brought that element into our game play, and enjoyed the low stakes, high exploration aspect of the game. We had a lot of fun!

You could easily increase the number of players just by repeating the examine phase, I love this simple and unique design.

A very subtle addition to bring in the gameplay of the Alone Games to a 2Player version. I like this a lot as it asked for collaborative storytelling!
