How it feels
A slow, turn-based board game where you roll dice and play tarot cards to outmaneuver opponents in a lighthearted but grim afterlife setting.

What players say
Players like the creepy take on chutes and ladders with tarot cards, but many wish the cards had more influence and the boards were randomized. Performance is a consistent issue, making fans spin even on low settings, and the lack of save progress frustrates some. It works well as a quick 5-10 minute game and plays great on Steam Deck.
