Faith: The Sci-Fi RPG Box Set

FAITH takes place in a dark and unforgiving Universe in which Gods live side by side with technology and biological experimentation. The Universe is linked by wormholes; two super-species silently fight for resources; humanity struggles for survival. What makes FAITH different? The basic mechanics. FAITH uses an innovative system that completely replaces dice rolls with cards. Each player has a poker deck and a hand of 7 cards, from which they choose which one to play at each point, allowing them to manage their luck. Actions in the game are successful by default, but the GM or any other character can chose to confront any action a character tries to perform, in which case both sides will play cards (up to a maximum determined by their attribute) and add their skill value. The one with the highest final value will succeed in his action. What this means is if you shoot someone, your target wont stand still and then perform his action, but try to shoot back. Confrontations make the game feel more dynamic by making two characters play against each other instead of playing against a value set by the GM.
