Up to five adults and babies.
Space is big: hundreds of colonised worlds. Technology, culture and law vary.
FTL travel uses 'jump pods’, traveling between gates. Journeys take 1-5 hours, connecting with many worlds and gates at each end.
**Play**
The game is one jump journey. Agree how long the journey will be, set a timer; when it goes off, the journey ends.
The room you are in, plus bathroom and kitchen, is your jump pod.
Children play themselves; actions relating to them are in character.
Play begins when you enter the pod as strangers, stuck in this space with children; your only entertainment is talking. Start with small talk, but progress to learning about each other.
**Character generation**
* Where are you travelling from/to?
* Why?
* Did anyone see you off?
* Is anyone meeting you?
* One-way or return trip?
* Have you been there before?
**Tips**
* Look for similarities and differences between you.
* Make things up about your journey, destination, family as you go along
* Talk about the children: ages, activities, preferences, abilities.
* Think about how children learn social rules, and have leeway in breaking them; what are they doing which will be trained out of them later?
