ICARUS

Witness the fall of civilization.

Icarus is a collaborative storytelling game about the fall of a great civilization. Every game begins in a city-nation known as Icarus at the height of its power where, in celebration, the city has decided to erect a massive, ever-growing monument in the center of town to display its prestige to the world.

 

During the game, you will be stacking dice to represent the construction of this monument, drawing cards from a story deck to create the escalating events in the city, and influencing the outcome of those events through actions driven by your characters’ motives.

 

By combing the tension of Jenga with the world-building elements of games like The Quiet Year and Dialect, Icarus allows you to explore what it means for a great civilization to collapse, as they all do with time. And when the dice tower finally falls, your civilization falls with it and the game comes to a volatile end.
