Contact is a cosmic tabletop storytelling game where players communicate with aliens through song and tarot.
First, players create a playlist together, using prompts from the Major Arcana. Once the playlist is complete, players draw question prompts related to their characters and the aliens, and answer these questions using songs from the shuffled playlist.
Themes vary from impending apocalypse, to hopeful first contact, to unavoidable tragedy, based mostly on which songs the group chooses. Most prompts are celestially spooky and aim to determine why the aliens have contacted the group, and what they want from the world.
In the final act, the players respond to the alien communication. By the end of the game, the players are left with a story, and a playlist to listen to anytime, now with new meaning.
Using the Major Arcana from a Tarot deck, you and your group will pull cards that will prompt you to add songs to a communal playlist.
Perhaps you draw The Fool, and are prompted to put in a "fast song." You add your favourite punk song to the playlist.
Perhaps you draw The Hermit, and are prompted to put in a "song without lyrics." You add Holst's Mars, the Bringer of War to the playlist. Buckle up.
Once your playlist is complete, draw Minor Arcana to prompt questions both about your group and about the Messengers. Use the songs to inspire the answers to the questions.
Do this over four acts.
Find out what the Messengers want, and why you're being contacted.
And then, respond.
In the final act of the game, your group will choose between sending songs back to the Messengers, or writing one yourself.
The choice is yours, and humanity may depend on it.
1-2 hour playtime.
Requires a Tarot deck, a way to compile a playlist, and something to play music from.

Only orders that contain items that are in stock at the time of ordering will be combined, when possible.
Essentially it is the same as above. We adore all of you and strive to give you the best possible customer experience possible but inventory tracking not only for us but for our vendors and partners makes this almost impossible to do now.
Pre-order dates are subject to change. We get as frustrated as you do when things come up but this happens from time to time. Sometimes circumstances beyond our control will create delays. We try to communicate via social media and our weekly newsletter to keep everyone as up to date as possible.
All items in an order containing pre-orders will ship with the pre-order item once it is in stock. If you would like the other items earlier, please place a seperate order from the one containing the pre-order.
We cannot combine pre-orders with existing orders nor combine new orders with existing pre-orders.
Pre-orders will be exempt from any type of general sale.
