Xenolanguage

From Thorny Games, the makers of bestselling and award-winning games, Dialect and Sign, comes Xenolanguage: A Game about Alien Language and Human Memory. 

We are no longer alone. In this roleplaying game, you play as the first humans tasked with deciphering an alien language. As you uncover meaning, you begin to see the world differently.

Xenolanguage is a story game for 3-5 players in 3-4 hours about first contact with alien life, messy human relationships, and what happens when they mix together.

Play centers on the Platform: a custom channeling board of mysterious origin. Use a planchette-like Lens to channel over alien symbols as you receive and interpret messages. Players will progressively discover meanings for the alien symbols on the board, grapple with what they learn, and experience how it changes them.
