About this board game

Diáspora is an enigma-solving game for 1 to 24 players, with an approximately 600-minute play time. Released in 2019, it invites players to solve 24 cards, each containing a unique code.

The game unfolds through e-mail communication with an interstellar ship carrying its three main characters. As players resolve the cards, they reveal new mysteries and receive additional information about the history behind the game.

Each solved card advances the exchange and provides another piece of the experience. The unique codes give the 24-card set a central role, while the e-mail connection links the players with the ship and the unfolding story.

Diáspora can accommodate a wide range of group sizes, from a single player to as many as 24 participants. Its substantial play time supports a lengthy sequence of card-solving and information gathering, whether approached alone or with a large group.

At its heart, Diáspora combines coded cards, electronic communication, and narrative discovery. Players who enjoy working through enigmas and gradually learning more about a game’s history will find a focused challenge in its 24-card structure.
