Inventures, Birtle Game s first title, is a collaborative storytelling adventure game coming soon to Kickstarter. In each game, players create their own characters and go on challenging adventures together. Victory comes down to how well you know your character and fellow players. In Inventures, there re no dice, game master, or numbers to track. Instead, Inventures relies on a powerful and novel game mechanic involving symbol interpretation. When your character faces a challenge, you choose between options, each composed of a randomly drawn ACTION and OBJECT card. You secretly pick which option best represents how your character would solve the problem. If the other players successfully guess which option you chose, your action succeeds and the story progresses. Because of its modular symbol interpretation system, you can use Inventures to play stories in any setting imaginable: Westerns, SciFi, Fantasy, or a game set in the world of your favorite books or movies! Games can be as short as 45 minutes and as long as weeklong campaigns. —description from the designer
