We have been teasing you with card images for the past few weeks, but its time to let the cat all the way out of the bag and let you know all about Weave, our new game out later this year.

Weave is a fully collaborative storytelling game unlike any other. No huge rulebooks or complicated dice math. No hours spent preparing before you get to enjoy the actual game. We make full use of Image Recognition through Augmented Reality to make gameplay fast and fun.

To begin play, the Weaver, who manages the game and the structure of the story, chooses a playset, which is a genre or world for the game to take place in. Playsets can be medieval fantasy, modern day high school melodrama, superhero stories, and much much more. The game will launch with several playsets and then regularly release more via an in-app marketplace.

Once the story is chosen, all the players begin scanning cards as they are instructed. Each card references some touchstone of the playset you've chosen, and through a few simple choices prompted by the app, the players will create fully fleshed out characters with real ties to the game world and The Weaver will have a theme, antagonist, and starting location to build a story upon.

At this point play begins, facilitated by a fast new dice system that is easy to learn for anyone, even those who have never played a tabletop game before. The Weaver will use the cards in his hand to create characters, locations, and plot twists to add to the scene, as well as challenges for them to overcome.

Weave combines the fun of roleplaying games and makes them fast and accessible in a way that has never been done, bringing storytelling to the masses. We will continue to make more announcements about the game, its playsets, and where you can try it out in the coming weeks. We think Weave is an amazing game that we really love and we are very excited to share it with you.
