Distant Stars Awaiting

You are a group of immortal wanderers, rocketing from place to place with no respect for law, order, or the linear flow of time. Forever can get pretty boring, so you spend your days seeking out a good time wherever you can, often in the form of observing (and meddling in) the latest interstellar drama. The stories you watch are tragedies more often than not. The only victories are pyrrhic ones, and any survivors lose much more than they gain. But even if the ending is a forgone conclusion, you're still going to stick around to see how it all falls apart.

To play, you will need:

•  2-6 people
• A deck of playing cards (no jokers)
• Paper, notecards or a shared online document to keep notes
