    Description

    Addio ("Farewell" in Italian) is a solo, print-and-play card game inspired by Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms. Set on the front lines of Northern Italy during WWI, you must cross the landscape and evade both the Italian caribinieri and the Austro-Hungarian troops to reach the arms of your lover, who is waiting on the shores of Lake Maggiore.

    Failure can come in many forms. You can be captured by dynamic Italian or Austro-Hungarian units, fall victim to starvation, or arrive at Lake Maggiore too broke to purchase the rowing boat needed to reach safety.

    At stages in your journey the player counter will rest on cards representing towns, fields, and battles – opportunities, respectively, to find temporary employment and gather intel, forage for food (an activity not without risk), and fight or bribe your way out of trouble. If you opt to travel at night, there’s a fair chance now and again you’ll end up in places you had no intention of visiting.
