Hi! I've been working on a hack on my own for the last few months, and am comfortable enough with what I've got to start soliciting feedback. The hack is called Migrant Stories, and it strives to tell the emotional truth, if not the historical truth, of the immigrant experience. I designed the game mostly in a vacuum, having run just two short playtests with close friends, so I'm anxious to hear what others think.

Here's the Google Drive folder with rules and sheets.

Here's a peek at what's inside:
