Perhaps you have never heard of Soledad, that village forgotten even by the birds, where the dust and the heat can become so strong that it is difficult to breathe. But you would only need an instant to recognize the aroma of the coffee plantations, or the echo of the prayers for Sunday mass, when the rich and the poor sing as a single voice. 

Follow the strange dreams of the fishermen at sea, seek beyond the exasperated silence of the rebels in the jungle, and you will find the black kapok tree in its fearful solitude. Not even the most ancient dead remember the secret that slumbers in patient wait under its roots. 

Will it be your fate to see it bloom again?

The Roots of Soledad is a tabletop roleplaying game and a homage to South American magical realism designed by Matthijs Holter, the author of Archipelago and Society of Dreamers, in collaboration with award-winning Italian game design studio NessunDove.

Improvise a story by drawing from a deck of unique cards, just as Pilar Ternera predicted the fate of the Buendia in A Hundred Years of Solitude. Time is just as important here: unlike other roleplaying titles with board game elements, this system is designed specifically to sustain campaign play.

Watch as every card helps the characters' tales get more intricate and tangled, like vines on the great tree watching over the village of Soledad. 

Will it be wiped out by the wind or stay forever in the memory of men?
