This is a journaling game about a little ship in a big universe. You will need a deck of cards, a notebook, a pencil, and a coin to play.
The coin is your ship. It's a cozy vessel sent to explore the wonders of space. Give it a name, and spend a few moments describing its crew. What are their roles? What are their cherished memories? What favorite items do they keep in their cabins, and how do they pass their spare time?
Imagine the ship flying through the room, cautiously navigating the strange planet and scanning the massive physical formations it encounters. As the ship moves from one point to another note what the voyagers see and draw a card to set the tone for their experiences.
Diamonds represent moments of comfort and safety inside the ship, such as a shared cup of tea as the crew regards a rock formation towering in the viewscreen or someone writing a poem about their experiences.
Hearts represent moments of connection between the crew, like a member supporting who feels homesick on the long journey or a meal enjoyed after emergency repairs.
Clubs note an unusual feature discovered as the ship explores the world, such as ancient ruins or a strange pulse of radiation.
Spades mark unusual actions the ship needs to take. Perhaps the ship needs to evade a sudden plasma eruption or the crew needs to rush to repair an essential system.
Friends can alternate drawing cards and describing the voyage. Play until it's time to move on to another world.
