Los Viajes del Capitán Foucault

Players take on the roles of alien philosophers who travel to Earth’s past and attempt to “fix” Humanity through debate, roleplaying and timed discussion. Each player receives a philosopher with a unique ability and a Personal Agenda that guides their goals and incentives. The game plays in real time and centers on social deduction, argumentation and strategic timing as players pursue competing or overlapping objectives; some outcomes allow multiple winners, single winners or collective losses. The characters’ abilities and agenda mechanics draw loosely on historical philosophical concepts to shape asymmetrical play.
