Trigger Warning: Natural Disasters (Flooding).

A journaling game of rising waters.

As you play Flee the Flood, you’ll imagine yourself as the dweller of a world experiencing an apocalyptic societal collapse due to the deadly effects of climate change. As fierce storms ravage your city and the floodwaters continue to rise, you are stranded. Somehow you must build a raft (or, if you like, some other vehicle) in order to escape. Your escape vehicle must accommodate both yourself and any allies you make along the way. The cards you draw provide seeds for a narrative: as you write your journal it’s up to you to interpret the cards and weave your story. 

You will need:

• A journal (or paper)
• A pen or pencil
• A deck of 52 cards + 2 jokers (or you can print out the cards provided with the game)
• A six-sided die
