Heredity: Die Geschichte von Swan

In a post-apocalyptic world, you play the story of a family in a campaign of five chapters. The family lived far away from any civilization but must now suddenly fight for survival. Each chapter uses a deck of cards featuring terrain for actions, encounters for interaction or fighting, items for equipment or narratives to continue the story. The Karma deck can influence the outcome of action. There are always four characters in play; Swan, the youngest family member, is a non-playable character. Characters comprise three cards for head, body and legs, and command three action markers for placement on action points; players decide together about the order of application – they enable talking to other characters, looking around, moving, fighting or providing better items. Symbols on cards indicate the type of use; cards in the timeline are resolved in sequence. Depending on the kind of decisions taken, chapters can be won in different ways. Completed chapters can be saved to continue playing later.
