What We Make has recently launched a Kickstarter to fund their MIND science fiction boardgame: MIND - The Fall of Paradise is a sci-fi boardgame in which one player becomes MIND, an all powerful A.I, and up to 3 other players take the roles of rebel leaders that do not approve with the decision of giving executive authority to an A.I over Lyanon, the 15th district of Earth. The Rebellion considers that it's unnatural for a creator to obey his creation.
Check the ongoing campaign here and make sure to consider making a pledge and grab one of these high-quality boardgames at a nice discount and note the free shipping (and even better for European buyers it ships from within Europe so no custom fees!)
Before the game starts players choose a scenario to play, distribute initial resources and populate the spaceships and colonies offered by the scenario with unique human citizens. MIND always starts the game by owning Lyanon, while the rebel leaders may start by owning different colonies and spaceships in the Solar System, or by owning nothing, and just being citizens of Lyanon themselves.
During the game all other 14 districts are at war one with each other and one by one are consumed by conflict and are removed from the game. Slowly but surely...Earth gets destroyed. But the game continues, as the goal for all players is to colonize the Solar System and make sure that mankind does not die with Earth's destruction.
While both MIND and the leaders want to save mankind, MIND has a different approach, that is completely unaccepted by the Rebellion as it is considered "to be the end of man". During the game, MIND persuades citizens into agreeing to be linked to the Paradise, a special and mysterious place that he created, where people who enter get to live their dreams but never want to wake up. People, willingly, abandon reality, and thus, abandon hope.
