What’s unique about this trick taking game?
- It’s highly thematic and instead of keeping track of scores on a pad, you will have Violet’s pawn advancing on a map, that displays her progress and how close/far she is from winning the game.
- Torech has two tracks on the board he will be focusing on and that display how close/far he is from winning the game: Violet’s fear, which he threatens with each trick he successfully plays on her (wins), and Violet’s Light track, which he wants to run out as quickly as possible so that she gets lost.
- Trump will change over the course of a game as Violet journeys through the different parts of the landscape. Because Violet controls the pacing, she will be able to speed through them, or stay for a little longer to take advantage of a certain suit.
- Most cards have a special ability, however, a card’s ability is triggered only if it isn’t used as a trump (trump is determined by Violet’s location on the map).
- Thanks to the many different traps Torech can use, each game will have different events play out at different timings, depending on how early Violet becomes a victim of her own fears.
