Parallum

Parallum

A cooperative tabletop game about fractured selves racing through a collapsing research station before the loop resets again.

Overview

A cooperative tabletop game about memory, time pressure, and surviving the same collapse again and again.

Parallum is a cooperative sci-fi deck-building tabletop game set aboard a research station trapped in a recurring temporal failure. Players control Other Selves, fractured versions of the same technician, using each loop to recover memory, adapt their strategy, and push closer to stabilising the station before time runs out.

Why it stands out

Why follow Parallum?

What the game is trying to deliver at the table.

  • Play as fractured versions of the same technician rather than separate heroes.
  • Race against time as each loop forces sharper route planning and harder choices.
  • Choose when to stay together and when to split up before the station collapses again.
  • Build progress through memory, technique, recovery, and repeated failure.
  • Explore a grounded phase-research station shaped by systems, wings, events, and temporal fracture.
