For Our Family is a card-based storytelling game, Descended from the Queen hack, like For the Queen. We create a brave space to explore our own questions–and questions of other children of immigrants– of identity and belonging in a fictional, safe context. It’s a conversational game that requires no dice, nor facilitator that focuses on answering prompts and exploring those answers collectively.
We are assuming the roles of a single generation of this family, blood or otherwise, to tell a collective story. Our elders have returned to the homeland and have invited you all to a reunion to inherit the family’s legacy. Your elders have nominated you, and only you, because there is no one else. And although we’ve felt the weight of their expectations our entire lives, we love them.
This game includes:
- Clear instructions for those of any experience to play
- 10 incredibly illustrated legacy environments by queer artists of color
- 9 optional role cards defined by how the elders view your characters
- 52 prompts cards with three final question prompts that will help build, break, and bond your characters to the world and their elders
- X-Card and Check-in safety tools to ensure a quality play experience
- Stories of belonging, isolation, obligation, tradition, and love
