All for your wondrous gaming endeavors.

During the game, you will tell the story of your Knight’s physical and spiritual descent as they quest for, and ultimately fail to find, the Grail. Your Knight’s quest is doomed. Their chivalric virtues will be surely undone by their fatal flaws and moral shortcomings.
To play you will need a deck of tarot cards, a pen and journal for recording your journey and deed, and a quiet place in which to divine, reflect and write. Play progresses through Prompts, delivered by the oracular tarot deck and interpreted by you.
