“Destruction” is a tabletop Role-Playing Card Game that is played in a group of 3-6 people. It explores how we're used to seeing the end of the world in stories and games, delegating the apocalypse to the realm of fiction and making it seem less scary. The game wants players to think about what happens while everything falls apart. Unlike most games about the end of the world, "Destruction" is about watching the world end instead of surviving afterwards. It is up to the player to decide, what they want to see go down, what should be kept alive or if they just want to see the whole world burn.
Language: spoken English or German
Age: From 16 year up
Duration: About 3 hours
