The Tower of Seven

Open the book, roll the dice, and lay out three tarot cards. Candlelight catches the edges of metal fittings. Wood, velvet, and cards bearing mysterious imagery set the stage for your game with the demon. At this richly tactile table, arrange your cards, assign your dice, and watch your carefully crafted combinations unfold, one card at a time. From the first roll to the final outcome, every move becomes part of the ritual. Three cards. How will you outplay the demon?

Use your dice to trigger the upright and reversed effects of tarot cards. Arrange their order and make a limited hand work together. Build a steady advantage, or put your faith in a riskier reversal. The same card can offer a different solution depending on its dice, position, and companions. Across the table, demons have the power to rewrite the rules. They can interfere with your dice and change how cards trigger, putting familiar combinations to the test.

Read their restrictions, reassess your resources, and find an opening as the situation changes. Demon decks left by other players await you. A strategy that once carried you to victory may become the very trick you need to unravel on the next floor. Choose cards from your collection and put them on the line as you enter the tower. Every card you take on the journey is a card you may have to part with.…
