The Quiet Year

The Quiet Year is a tabletop role-playing game that focuses on community-building and storytelling. Players collaboratively create a map and narrative for a community struggling to survive after a crisis. Over the course of a year (represented by game turns), players encounter events, challenges, and opportunities, influencing the community's fate. The game emphasizes cooperation, exploration of themes like resilience and resource management, and the impact of decisions. By the end, players reflect on their unique story of that community, which can provoke deeper discussions about society and human experience in a creative and engaging manner.
