Stonemaier Games announced the release of Red Rising: a 1-6 player hand management game inspired by the novels of Pierce Brown. In a futuristic dystopian society divided into castes, your House is trying to raise its power by gathering more followers.
According to the gameplay description, you will start with a hand of 5 cards and, on each turn, you will play a card in a location to gain its benefit. Then, you will take a card either from another location or the main deck and add it to your hand.
The solo mode has been developed by the Automa Factory. On the Stonemaier Games website you will find a small 'personality test' to determine which House suits you more. (Even though there is a House Minerva, I got Apollo instead).
We will post about the game again when more gameplay details are revealed.
That's a short test. I got House Ceres. Guess I'm caught up by my peasants ancestry.
There is also a short personality test "Which mermaid are you?" tied to the upcoming Mermaid game. It turns out that I am a Sun Mermaid: vivacious, warm, stunning, glamorous. Hm.
Ah ah, did it again, now I am a "Moon" mermaid: perceptive, dreamer, calm, mediator. That's very much more like me.
That 'personality test' is interesting. My personality varies with my mood. 🙂
I explored the "Red Rising" test further. There is first a question with two answers that will send you to two different groups of gods: Jupiter/Diana/Mars on the one hand, Apollo/Minerva/Ceres on the other hand. The second question has three answers and will send you to a subset of two gods of your group; so for the second group, it will be Apollo/Minerva or Apollo/Ceres or Minerva/Ceres. The third question (two options again) will finally decide among these two.
So there are actually two paths for each god, and 12 paths total.
It's very weird, because the last question of the Jupiter/Diana/Mars then Jupiter/Diana is "Will your chosen team be small and nimble or large and overwhelming?", and "small and nimble" sens you to Jupiter while "large and overwhelming" sends you to Diana. I bet it's a mistake.
Yes, that sounds like a mistake. Off to do the mermaid test now. 😄
So, which Mermaid are you?
Moon 🌙
Huh. I thought I was unique, but no. Another mooning mermaid.
Are mermaids capable of mooning? 😋
And, unsurprisingly, House Apollo. I've been training for it for years.
