Last Dispatch
A downloadable game
You are a foreign correspondent, employed by the most prestigious news organization in your home country.
You have arrived to bear witness to the final days of a nation in crisis.
Last Dispatch is a game of creative reportage. Roll the die, draw the cards, and file a dispatch on the day's events. Using simple interpretive principles, you'll read each hand to reveal the conflicts and overtures in a nation hurtling toward collapse.
You may not be able to alter the course of history, but you can bear witness to the personal and societal changes that arrive in its wake.
The 24-page zine contains complete rules for play, guidelines for interpreting events, four starter themes, and a non-narrative variant called Dispatch Solitaire.
To play, you'll need:
- One six-sided die
- A standard 52-card deck of playing cards
- Some way to record each day's dispatch
