A downloadable game

It is the year 2207. Auguste Victoria Co-op is a tight-knit, hardy community at the fringe of the solar system: Two generations ago, a few individuals desperate enough to leave Earth staked their claim in Jupiter‘s rings, a zone that is otherwise corporate territory. The co-op established their small-scale asteroid mining operation, and built a nourishing, sustainable community on a rock called CCB-α („Zezebe-alpha“). The community has fended off corporate lawyers, shady money-lenders, and even space pirates.

But just as the community had cleared their debts, and were celebrating the arrival of another successful mango harvest, not to mention the fifth child born on Zezebe, disaster struck. When a group of miners was lost deep in the shafts, the management of Solar Inc saw an opportunity for a hostile takeover of AVC, disguised as an altruistic mine rescue operation.

The Victoria Mining Accident is a card-based mine rescue story game. You play to find out how there can be hope for the miners and their loved ones, how the accident changes everyone, and why the Victoria Mining Accident makes history. After set-up, the players split into two groups: The miners and their family and friends. The miner group and the family and friends cannot communicate directly, but occasionally, you can send short messages to the other group. The game is about hope in desperate circumstances but also about cooperation, and the power of shared memories.

What you need to play

  • 2, 3 or 4 miners
  • 2, 3 or 4 family and friends of the miners
  • two separate locations to play in (maybe these locations are audio chats if you play online)
  • a phone or computer to record and send voice and text messages to the other group
  • some way to take notes
  • a timer for each group
  • the Victoria Mining Accident card decks (or a playingcards.io file)
