(Kickstarter) The Station by Pidj Sorensen

While I will mention some of the questionably presented Kickstarters for #ZineMonth2022, The Station, by Pidj Sorensen, is certainly NOT one of those.  It is presented so well, I will just leave these two sentences and a snippet of the Kickstarter for your consideration:  

“The Station” is a GM-less worldbuilding game where players take turn answering prompts about a train, the station it is headed for, and the people there. In the vein of "i'm sorry did you say street magic" and "The Quiet Year", The Station is a worldbuilding game. It is a game about how places shape people and people shape places. The Station uses no dice. Instead, it uses playing cards, paper (such as index cards) and tokens or other ways of representing points. Play time is adjusted by setting the number of Train Progress cards and by changing the size of the playing card deck. Throughout the game, draw cards, ask and answer questions and gain and spend points. Along the way, you will discover the world you have built together. Then, at the end of the game, a bitter-sweet resolution happens. Spend your points to resolve the stories of the characters you have collaborated on and bring your time to a close.
