About the game

A bus arrives in Nadtorze. The driver confirms thirteen passenger seats, while the settlement has eighteen adult residents. Six rounds remain before roads close. As the evacuation committee, verify information, coordinate actions and honour accepted promises. Each round allows up to two group actions. Work in changing teams, compare testimony with documents and vote together. Facts, assumptions and character assurances carry different weight. The finale separately assesses departures, the safety of those remaining, commitments and exposed negligence. Decisions concern fictional characters; a neutral statement can replace a conflict scene. For 3–6 players aged 18+ and a separate facilitator. Themes include forced evacuation, unequal access to aid and possible off-screen loss of life. Play is offline. All materials are in Polish; this description is in English. Play time of 120–180 minutes and roughly 40 minutes of setup after reading are estimates. Reachable states, legal manifests and digital layout were checked; physical printing and human sessions remain pending.
