The Quiet Year is a map game. You define the struggles of a post-apocalyptic community, and attempt to build something good within their quiet year. Every decision and every action is set against a backdrop of dwindling time and rising concern. If you haven't checked out Buried Without Ceremony's website then you owe it to yourself to check out their great selection of Story-Building games. I've played this game a handful of times so far and it quickly became my favorite. Experience with the game is not necessary, the rules are simple enough to be taught in under 5 minutes. Creative minds with a love of collaboration are preferred, this is not a competitive game.
