(Kickstarter) #ZineQuest2024 - The Details of Our Escape

The Details of Our Escape is a "caravan-style" TTRPG, which means players control groups of 10-600 people within a larger 2348-person caravan. Dominos drawn at the start of the game dictate the size of each group, but each player decides what binds their group together, what they're fleeing, and what they're searching for.

A hand of dominos is drawn at the start of each leg of the journey and then played in sequence to build a path—sometimes veering towards good things, sometimes away from bad things. Dominos' numbers inform what the caravan discovers each tile, and the active player dictates all encounters and their individual group's reactions.

When someone runs out of playable tiles the caravan has reached a door (literal or figurative). Pulling from knowledge gathered on your travels, players work together to unlock the door and continue. Depending on the the size of your group and tiles encountered, however, your group may instead settle in the surrounding area rather than moving forward.
