Hymes & Seyalioglu DIALECT - A GAME ABOUT LANGUAGE AND HOW IT DIES: Book & Cards

€37.00
Ausverkauft

Dialect is a game about an isolated community, their language, and what it means for that language to be lost.

Dialect is a GM-less game for 3-5 players where you’ll tell the story of the Isolation by building their language. New words will come from the fundamental aspects of the community: who they are, what they believe in, and how they respond to a changing world.

Players take away both the story they’ve told and the dialect they’ve built together. Includes hardcover book, deck of language generating cards used to play the game, and a free digital copy delivered immediately.

What's Included

  • 150 page hardcover and language generating deck, both gorgeously printed with professional layout and beautiful art.

  • Playsets contributed by eleven world-class game designers, linguists, language creators, and generally-formidable humans

  • Contributed chapter on language invention by David Peterson (author of The Art of Language Invention and language creator for HBO's Game of Thrones)

  • A chapter on sustaining the world's language by Steven Bird, linguist, community organizer and champion for language vitality.
