There Is Nothing Lonelier

Based off the poem  “There is Absolutely Nothing Lonelier” by Matthew Rohrer. Created for Poetry Inspired TTRPG Jam . Requires a standard 52-card deck to play. You are a rover that has been tasked to search for and extract subterranean deposits of interest on the surface of Mars. A solo playing card game reminiscent of Blackjack. Excavate as many valuable minerals as you can by attempting to match spades with the total of face-up "deposit" cards. Be careful, as failing to do so can cost you time, resources and the mission itself. Comes with recommended, but ultimately optional, journaling rules for documenting your findings. // // // // // There is absolutely nothing lonelier than the little Mars rover never shutting down, digging up rocks, so far away from Bond street in a light rain. I wonder if he makes little beeps? If so he is lonelier still. He fires a laser into the dust. He coughs. A shiny thing in the sand turns out to be his.
