Assemblage

Together, become a weird ecology. When the world shatters, how will we survive?

Assemblage is a card-based eco-fantasy storytelling game for 2-6 players where each player portrays an entire species—and collaborates in crafting an interdependent ecosystem on the verge of collapse. You'll begin by collectively choosing a strange and mysterious habitat. Then you will draw prompt cards and take turns describing the assemblage of species living there: history, relationships, adaptations, and myths. Then you'll encounter an epic environmental disaster—and explore what it means to survive.

The game will come in a handy ~5"x8" portable box that contains:

• Guidebook containing rules of play, safety tools, and help with facilitating a GM-less game for the first time


• Habitat cards to inspire fantastical habitats


• Ecological relationship cards to establish species interdependence and conflict


• Event cards to inspire scenes and roleplay, and let you tell the story of your assemblage over time


• Cataclysm cards to outline the depth and extent of the crisis your assemblage will face


• Keystone species and Extinct species role cards that define player species who shape the story in special ways


• A pad of tear-off species placards so you can name (and illustrate!) your species
