Migration

Frame · Transition and change situational

Collective movement – a group moves on, in search of a better place, driven by hardship or hope.

Design question – In your game a group moves on. What drives it – flight, search, tradition? And how does the journey change the group itself?

Reference example – The Banner Saga: an entire people moves with carts and cattle through a land that is falling apart. Football: the away end – a community that travels together and arrives together.
