REBUILD is a one-page solo roleplaying game about a small village recovering from the destruction of a meaningless war, and a military mech abandoned by their nation following the ceasefire.
Together they must set aside their history to rebuild.
The engine of REBUILD is a solitaire card game with 'push-your-luck' dice mechanics.
Play represents the myriad of tasks the village faces each season, and in its current state is terribly unprepared to handle.
The village will rely on the assistance of the mech, carefully allocating battery to tip the odds in their favour.
But this perfect weapon of war is only an imperfect tool of agriculture and chores, and time marches on leaving tasks to wither away.
The outcome of the season will unfold prompts for journalling on behalf of the village as well as the mech.
Explore how the village's relationship with the mech evolves, and whether the mech can fight back against its hard-wired directives of violence.
