Icarus

Imagine a civilization at the height of its power. To celebrate its glory, the city erects a monument - ever-growing, ever-rising, stone by stone toward the sky. But as the tower climbs, cracks spread through the society beneath it. And you get to tell the story of how it all comes apart.

Icarus is a GM-less storytelling game for two to five players, where you collaboratively shape the fall of a great civilization. You draw cards that introduce escalating events - social unrest, political crises, catastrophe - and respond through the lens of your character's motives. At the same time, you physically stack custom dice to build the monument. When the tower falls, so does your civilization. The ending is certain; the story is not.

Icarus works beautifully as a companion to your regular TTRPG sessions, but it stands on its own just as well. No preparation required, no game master needed - just a willing group and a shared love of storytelling. A session of Icarus feels like writing the final chapters of an epic together, live around the table.

Build something magnificent. Watch it fall.
