Nightingale's magical, world-creating Realm cards could become a fullblown collectible card game

Minor cards are played within worlds to mess with their workings. “I love that idea,” Flynn said. “Yeah, we do talk about that. Yeah, I think that’s a super cool idea.” But it doesn’t sound like an absolute pipedream project, either.
