About the game
What you do in a play session
The Void is a story-rich competitive game set in a future controlled by mega-corporations. You take on the role of one of four crew members on a mission to retrieve a beacon in space. But beware, empty space isn't always what it seems. Choose between the Commander, the Mechanic, the Pilot, or the Data Analyst and face unique challenges. The game offers two play modes: Action Mode, where you dive straight into the action with Crisis and Aftermath cards that create a different story each time (about 45 minutes), and Cinema Mode, a curated experience with cinematic scenes that make you feel like you're watching a movie (about 2 hours). The Void is the third title in the Living Stories series, promising an immersive and twist-filled experience.
