Orion Find two people of any gender who may be attracted to one another. Each person carries twelve tokens, representing their will. Each person will have two other players to advise them, a Star, and a Wanderer. ​ ​ ​ ​

A person’s Star will encourage them to act in their long-term best interest, and do the right thing. ​ ​ A person’s Wanderer will tell them to give in to their immediate urges, damn the consequences. ​ ​

You may not see or address either person’s Star or Wanderer, only listen and act on their words.

To do or say something that a Star encourages you to do, spend a token by giving it to them. ​ ​ To reject or act against the advice of your Wanderer, spend a token by giving it to them. ​ ​ Alnitak The two people have just met.
