Sing Out

Some ships use metronomes or atomic clocks to keep time while moving near lightspeed but there are still a few that use space shanties to minimize drift. A strong shanty caller is invaluable on a vessel like that, as are the voices they lead. Every singer is at a different point of the ship and the drift between them gives the pilot the information they need to safely navigate at speeds close to c.

Sing Out is a game for three or more players about singing space shanties and trying to stay in sync. The demo includes everything you need to play this game with your own shanties. Paying five dollars gives you the full text which includes 9 shanties, annotations, and an introduction, and will give you access to rough recordings I've made of these shanties.

You can find a playlist with the versions of the original shanties I like best here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa8E6pVBWANSXok714eePTqm53YDIlJWB
