JANUARY

JANUARY is a postcard writing game for two, printed in postcard book format, about distant but persistent friendships in an alternate universe filled with kaiju. It's about living ordinary lives in the face of impending horrors, and small friendships tended for decades. This is a game about people who are the protagonists of only their own lives - the bit characters in larger world-ending stories who still live tenderly and completely when the world is in entropic decline. 

The art in this book is a visual narrative of how the two player characters, both artists, communicate with each other over decades of shared experiences and inspirations. One set of postcards is painted by game designer Shing Yin Khor and the other set features collages by illustrator Jared Andrew Schorr, for a total of twenty postcards (ten postcards for each player).

One copy includes everything two players need to play the game. Each player is given one set of prompts and postcards, and the primary mechanic is players writing and mailing postcards to each other. 

Print copies of JANUARY are currently available for preorder via Kickstarter. The print book is designed in postcard book format and is a beautiful and thoughtful physical object, featuring 20 removable postcards.
