Description

(approx. 150 words)
Please describe the Wild Card (approx. 150 words)
After new generation of flaqles artifical companios had been invented, the popularity of living with robotic partner increased rapidly. New robotic companions are helpful, nice, empathetic and obliging day and night and it is possible to switch them off as necessary. In contrast, interpersonal relationship is geting worse and number of new born babies is rapidly falling. It looks like robotic children will be the biggiest crowd-puller in near future.
