Signs of the Sojourner ±R220

This stylish and deep deckbuilding game challenges you to play through conversations. Most similar games have combat, but in Signs, the sparring is verbal; we love the way even small mismatches and victories affect how the game ends. You’ll need to match card symbols with your acquaintances, all while you travel around a dusty, near-apocalyptic world as a merchandise buyer. Signs aims ‘to capture both the feeling of leaving home and returning changed by our experiences,’ says developer Dyala Kattan-Wright.
