So many ‘approach things in any order!’ They’re all fantastic fun to play with, and their magical-leaning skillsets set your mind alight with possibilities. But they all have their own merits.

The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood review: a wonderfully witchy fable told through player-created Tarot

Another aspect of working with the games cards is slowly understanding this personal or wider significance. The characters are all great fun, however you steer them across the waters of destiny.
