The Quiet Year - Week 6

Equipment

This is our map. Before playing, we’ll establish some of the landscape. As we play, we’ll update the map to reflect new discoveries, conflicts, and opportunities. Parts of the map will be literal cartography and other parts will be symbolic. We’ll try to avoid writing words on it, though common symbols are fine.

Throughout the game, we’ll all be responsible for drawing on this map. It’s fine to draw poorly or crudely, but all of us are going to draw.

These are project dice. When our community starts a project, we’ll draw one on the map to note how many weeks it will take to finish.
Each week, they tick down by one. When a die reaches zero, the project is complete.

These are Contempt Tokens. They represent any tension and frustration that might arise in the community.

We'll use a regular 52-card deck, separated into suits. Each suit represents a season - ♥Hearts♥ for Spring, ♦Diamonds♦ for Summer, ♣Clubs♣ for Fall, and ♠Spades♠ for Winter.

Each card drawn (via random.org) represents a week in the season, and one turn in the game. The King of Spades, when drawn, marks the arrival of the Frost Shepherds, and the end of the game.
