Tomorrow's Heroes

The game aims to tackle common yet challenging situations, enhancing gameplay with individual goals alongside a shared ultimate objective of resolving tasks. It presents scenarios anyone might encounter, which often lack intervention for various reasons. Situations like a man heckling on a bus, someone slumped against a wall, or hikers leaving trash behind are all too familiar. Despite seeming like moments to step in, intervention is rare due to misconceptions or a reluctance to interfere. The game rewards players for resolving these scenarios through the play of cards containing positive messages, encouraging collective action.

Every round centers on an event. Players deploy cards with positive or negative effects—the latter when no other option is available or individual goals demand it. A marker cube is moved on the event card based on these cards' impacts, indicating at the round's end whether the event has been resolved. The game also includes event-modifier tokens to enhance gameplay.

It can be played simply by operating the mechanism or with extensive discussion and awareness, depending on the goal and target group. In the former case, the game lasts about 20 minutes, while in the latter, it can span up to two class periods. This flexibility makes the game particularly valuable in educational settings, where the foundation uses it as a teaching and sensitization tool.
