When the world shatters, how will we survive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssemblage is a card-based eco-fantasy storytelling game for 2-6 players where each player portrays an entire species—and collaborates in crafting an interdependent ecosystem on the verge of collapse. You'll begin by collectively choosing a strange and mysterious habitat. Then you will draw prompt cards and take turns describing the assemblage of species living there: history, relationships, adaptations, and myths. Then you'll encounter an epic environmental disaster—and explore what it means to survive.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0017\/8464\/3619\/files\/howtoplayassemblage-banner.avif?v=1768813825\" alt=\"How to Play Assemblage image banner\" style=\"margin: 10px auto; float: none; display: block;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHabitat Selection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll begin by shuffling the Habitat cards and dealing out three at random.
