‘Gen7: A Crossroads Game’ is on the Horizon from Plaid Hat

Aug 22, 2018

Plaid Hat Games will soon be releasing a new crossroads game with a science fiction setting. Gen7 will place the players in the roles of the officers of a space ark carrying the last members of humanity in a legacy style series of adventures. The game is for three or four players, ages 14+, plays in around 30-45 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $99.95 when it arrives later this year.

From Plaid Hat:

An international colony ship has left an exhausted Earth, headed for a distant planet in the Epsilon Eridani system. Thirteen generations will be born on this vessel before it reaches its destination, each generation a steward of the hopes and ideals of the human species. For six generations, everything has gone as planned….

Now, just as a new command team takes control of the ship, a terrible mystery emerges that will threaten the entire mission. The commanders of Gen7 are about to discover that everything is not as it seems, and the fate of the human species will hang on the choices they make.

In the tradition of the award-winning Dead of Winter, Gen7: A Crossroads Game is a grand narrative game with multiple possibilities. The choices players make as they play will alter the direction of the story. Gen7 will constantly challenge its players with a variety of unique situations that force them to make difficult moral decisions. Will you compromise your integrity to ensure the safety of your crew? Will you value their lives over the safety of the mission?
