Origin Story

Origin Story is a card-driven storytelling game where players create characters and build their backstories through a series of prompts and choices. Over the course of the game, players combine traits, events, and ideas to shape unique and often unexpected character arcs.

The gameplay focuses on creativity and interpretation rather than strict strategy. Players respond to prompts, make connections between cards, and develop a narrative that evolves as the game progresses. Each session can feel very different depending on the group and the stories that emerge.

It’s designed to be approachable, encouraging players to jump in and create without needing acting experience or complex rules.
