Dear fellow travelers and dreamers, The whistle blows, steam billows, and the Witasy Express is ready to embark on a new journey! We’re thrilled to announce the arrival of Witasy Express: Second Edition, a reimagining of our beloved solo journaling game that promises to take you on an even more captivating adventure across fantastical landscapes and into the depths of your imagination.

The Journey to Our Second Edition When we first set the Witasy Express in motion, we had a vision of a game that could transport players to wondrous realms without ever leaving their homes. As we watched our community of travelers grow and listened to your stories, we realized there was potential for an even richer, more immersive experience. This realization set us on a new track, one that would lead us to this Second Edition. We’ve spent countless hours refining mechanics, deepening the lore, and ensuring that every card draw brings you closer to the heart of your unique narrative.

What’s New on This Voyage? As you step aboard the newly refurbished Witasy Express, you’ll discover:

  1. A Narrative Focus: We’ve overhauled the game to put your story front and center. Every encounter, every decision, and every destination is designed to weave a tapestry of memorable tales.
  2. Streamlined Mechanics: We’ve simplified the rules to make the game more accessible without sacrificing depth. Now, you can dive into your adventure with less setup and more imagination.
  3. Character Types: Introduce more variety to your journeys with new character archetypes, each bringing unique perspectives to your travels.
  4. NPCs and Consequences: The world of Witasy Express feels more alive than ever, with a cast of intriguing characters to meet and meaningful choices that ripple through your story.
  5. Deeper Lore: Uncover the secrets of this wondrous world as you travel. Each location is brimming with history and mystery, waiting for you to explore.

Current State of the Express This Second Edition release is a print-friendly version, focusing on the core experience without illustrations. Think of it as the essential travel guide for your journey – compact, informative, and ready for your personal touches.
