The Quiet Year (box set)
Build a Community. Watch the Year Unfold. Prepare for What Comes Next.
The Quiet Year is a beautifully designed map-based storytelling game about a community rebuilding after the collapse of civilization. Over the course of one fragile year, you’ll define your settlement’s struggles, hopes, conflicts, and fragile achievements—all while knowing time is running out.
Each decision matters. Each week changes everything.
Why You’ll Love It
A Map-Building Story Experience
Draw your community directly onto the map as you play—adding landmarks, resources, dangers, and dreams as they emerge.
Driven by a Deck of Time
The 52-card deck represents the 52 weeks of the quiet year. Every card introduces new events: bad news, good omens, stalled projects, unexpected fortune, and shifting tensions.
Tension and Scarcity
You’ll launch projects, manage limited resources, and navigate disagreements—all against the ticking clock of inevitable change.
An Unavoidable Ending
When the Frost Shepherds arrive, the game ends. No matter how well (or poorly) your community has fared, the year closes—and something new begins beyond the horizon.
A Beautiful Physical Edition
Presented in a hand-stickered kraft box, this box set offers a tactile, atmospheric play experience from the moment you open it.
