Sixpence Games has launched THE SINGULARITY WILL HAPPEN IN LESS THAN A YEAR, a game of community in the face of the end of the world as we know it.
Inspired by The Quiet Year by Avery Alder, this is a game of anticipation, dread, hope, ambition, loss, and potential gain. You'll play through just under a year of story and roleplaying prompts as you draw from a deck of cards, each one corresponding to the events of that week. Spring has the tone of "we'll get to it later", Summer has an optimistic tone, Autumn has a desperate, scrambling tone, and Winter's tone is resigned to your fate.
Roleplaying prompts include dealing with a sudden advancement of AI capabilities, celebrating a holiday, a proper cult splitting off from your community, handling social scandals, being presented with moral dilemmas, and more. You'll be pressed to make difficult ethical decisions at every turn as the end draws ever closer.
