Your country has been deeply embedded in a tumultuous civil war for many years. Homes were destroyed; lives torn apart; and families separated—including yours. Your family has been separated since the beginning of the war, and making contact has been impossible over the subsequent years. After what has seemed like an eternity, the opposing factions have begun talks, and reconciliation is finally happening.

In one year, the walls—both literal and figurative—will be torn down; the country and its citizens will begin the arduous process of coming together. This finally gives you the opportunity to reunite with your long-lost family. The government has encouraged you to write letters to your family during the coming months, so you may begin the path of reconnecting with each other.

But do you even know them anymore?

Reunification is a game for 3-5 players where each player takes on the role of one member of a family that has been split apart due to a civil war. Throughout the game, you will ask questions of the other family members in order to get to know them and build up familiarity, empathy, and compassion with each other. It is a game of questioning and writing—in hopes of gaining insight and perspective, understanding and trust.

Successfully kickstarted in February of 2019, Reunification is a 32-page RPG Zine with fantastic artwork by Annette 'Netters' Villa.
