Long before the Zodiac was written in the stars, the Jade Emperor declared a celestial race — a contest to decide which creatures would be honored for eternity. But the Emperor seeks more than speed. He wishes to see the hearts of those who race: their cleverness, compassion, and the lessons they offer to Heaven itself.
In The Celestial Race, 1 or more players embody the animals of the Chinese Zodiac as they face a series of heavenly trials designed to test their virtue, wit, and teamwork. Guided by a storyteller or GM acting as the Jade Emperor, players must impress the divine judge through clever words, daring deeds, and heartfelt storytelling.
Every choice leaves an imprint in the heavens — and in the Emperor’s memory.
