Brutally difficult game. Either that, or I played it incorrectly; it's possible for a roll of 1d6+2 to beat a 2d6+3, but I was certainly unable to do so. That being said....

If you spend extra for the tarot-sized cards, sleeve them. Dry erase markers and crayons will not wipe off cleanly (even a highlighter marker left a stain, however slight), and isopropyl alcohol will destroy the card's finish. Found this out the hard way.
