Proposal: Formerly Known as Princes

Quorums 4-0. — Quirck

Add the following to the list of Cards, just before the first Arcana Card, numbered appropriately:

  1. Page of Cups - While active, as a Daily Action, a Reader may Invoke any Aura.
  2. Page of Swords - While active, all Readers are Chosen.
  3. Page of Wands - When drawn, if any Readers are Chosen and there are at least as many Unrevealed Cards as there are Chosen Readers, add one Unrevealed Card to the Discard pile of each Chosen Reader. (Start with the highest-numbered Unrevealed Card in this list and the Chosen Reader who appears last in the GNDT table, then work upward, for these assignments.)
  4. Page of Pentacles - When this Card becomes inactive, if any Readers are Chosen, those Readers gain the Aura of Virtue; if no Readers are Chosen, instead, all Readers gain the Aura of Virtue.
  5. Temperance - While active, no Reader may gain an Aura that at least one other Reader does not already have.
Add to the end of the rule “Drawing” the following:
If two Cards would have conflicting effects, and both are equally specific, the Card that appears later in the list above takes precedence.

I just want to finish making up this deck now so I can try it in real life.

for Using fixed lists for the Page of Wands seems badly deterministic, though: the second-from-last player will nearly always get The World, giving them free Acclaim (and not even requiring a lift-shuffle to make it their Power Card if they drew the Page of Wands themselves and decided where in their Discards to put The World).

By the way, am i right reading Temperance as: While active, Readers may only gain Auras that all other Readers already have?

Ah, I can see how that’s confusingly worded. The intention was “if there is an Aura that nobody else has, you can’t gain it.”
