Flatpack: Fix the Future

by Filamena Young

Have you heard anyone say that the future's not so bright, and thought, "But I have lightbulbs?" If so, Flatpack is the game for you! Until someone tells us otherwise, we're saying that Flatpack: Fix the Future is the first game in the smash Hyperoptimistic Postapocalyptic genre of gaming. Flatpack is a game about building a new society using pre-apocalypse technology that you don't always trust or understand, and solving terrible problems creatively.

*Flatpack uses simple resolution mechanics made to be playable for anyone that can read.

*Think IKEA, meets Civilization, meets Actraiser, meets Earthbound, in pen and paper game form!

*Cooperative and tongue-in-cheek gameplay focused on puzzles, brainteasers, and play achievements.

You'll Need: A printout of the Conflict Cards (included). A printout of the Catalog (included). Enough character sheets (included) and pencils for each player, some way to read this booklet, one four sided die (d4,) two six sided dice (d6) and one eight sided die (d8.)

About the author

I’ve spent the last ten years writing freelance fiction, non fiction, and game design as well as independently publishing my own game work. Now that I have the time, I’ve returned to my first love, fiction.

​I live and teach English as a second language during the day in rural Japan, birthplace of all things Mecha. (Giant Robots.) I’m raising three clever future mech pilots, though hopefully more Gundam Build Fighters than Gundam Universal Century 😉
