The year is 1965, humanity (America) has just sent a super groovy unmanned mission to a planet thought to have Goldilocks conditions. The AIs on-board the spacecraft, are programmed with everything there is to know about Earth and it’s (American) people in order to accurately gauge the new planet’s suitability. When they land, they are greeted by sun and surf and…aliens. How can they write a report home, about a culture they have nothing in their databanks to compare to?

Boldly go is a game that uses silliness to talk about hard subjects: gender, race, sexuality, economic systems are all things this game can touch on and is designed to handle. An amount of comfort with these topics is necessary to play this game, as well as an ability to communicate what your boundaries are about each of these topics with other participants. GMs will lead players through a number of situations before and after Robots have landed on an Alien planet.
