Title

Existence & Promenade Playtests

Description

Partake in one of two new prototypes: Existence, a 2-player coop game or Promenade, a simultaneous engine builder.

In Promenade: Lead your unique secret societies from the world of Clandestine. Groups of Pawns rotate around the city, providing resources and effects to the players they visit. Infiltrate these groups with your own Pawns to mold them to your strategy.

In Existence: You're both guardian angels making sure nothing stands in the way of your charge's existence. Together, make sure that their ancestors don't just survive—but overcome numerous hurdles to bring them into existence.
