The Game 

Gather your tarot cards, bathe in the neon lights, tell a sweeping science fantasy tale over several phases.

Collaborate on the Big Oops 

Detail the biggest calamity in this world’s history. Pinpoint what occurred when the previous Fools reached their journey’s zenith, and which Major Arcana consorted or clashed with each other along the way.

The setting manifests around the characters as you answer prompts about how the Big Oops shaped the world, what was lost, and how long afterwards the story begins.

Create Your Fools 

Be they Android, Human, or someone in between. Become intertwined with the Major Arcana gods. Build a unique tarot deck to lead your journey.

Tether your Fool to three Major Arcana by selecting associated motivations. Each Major Arcana has a list of motivations to choose from. Insert the three chosen Major Arcana into your playdecks.

Choose two Archetypes for your Fool to inform how they interact with the world and the people in it.

Play in the Post-Calamity 

Explore both the waking world & the surrealistic subconscious realms.

Incite Calamities as the Major Arcana wrap themselves tighter around you. Flirt with godhood yourself as you indulge or deny the jealous gods. Your potential grows, your power spreads, your Fooldom unfolds.

Will it be enough to prevent the next Big Oops?
