While you can play Witasy Express in as little as 1-2 hours, the longer you stay with Witasy Express the more the world will expand while you journey across the world. Discover new places and experience new content with every draw of your card.
SO, WHAT IS WITASY EXPRESS?
Witasy Express is a tabletop roleplaying game about exploring and experiencing wondrous sights while boarding a cruise-like train. Uses a standard 52 card deck. For 1+ players.
You are a normal office worker who had enough of work and decided to go on a long vacation until things got better. You went home after working the late night shift at the factory and were about to sleep but you couldn't.
So instead of going straight to bed, you decide to check the news. As soon as you turn on your television set you hear two newscasters talking excitedly about something called the "Witasy Express".
They talked about how they would travel across continents without any stops or delays because of the amazing technology used by the Witasy corporation.
After hearing these words, you suddenly realize what you need to do.
You want to travel.
The core gameplay cycle revolves around a Character (you) traveling around the world with a budget. You’ll face encounters with other people, monsters, species, weird paranormal events, visit wondrous settlements, board a cruise-like train that takes you far from home, and hopefully maybe eventually set yourself up to live out your dreams of traveling.
You will need:
- A deck of common playing cards (without Jokers)
- A notebook (physical or digital)
- A pen
- Optional: Printer to print the game. (But you will need a password to unlock the printing and you can get that if you email at sparuh.com@gmail.com of dm me)

Itchfunding Goals:
Witasy Express is Itchfunding in order to raise the money needed to make sure that it becomes the best game it can be. As of current, the train only contains parts of the final product but is fully playable. Like all projects, is a dream that can only be created with your help.
I will need YOUR HELP to create supplements for Witasy Express settings inspired by many solo RPG journaling games before it. If fully funded, these stretch goals will provide approximately 150 pages of awesome contents!
Each goal will include its own supplement of arts, a new table, and more content!
Support Witasy Express to expand the World of Witasy and make it the game it should be!

I've tried Kickstarter but it wasn't available in my country, so instead of all-or-nothing crowdfunding, I opted to share my existing progress and made the game available as soon as possible.
The game will be made 'purchase only' at full price once the game reaches a 'mature' state. The current state of the game is made available to all so that everyone will get to play it.
Enjoy!
