Terrible Worm: The Calamitous Century¸ in Tarot
Terrible Worm is a solitaire (patience) card game using a 78 card Tarot deck. Leaders from the four families form armies and fight till only one remains¸ while putting down bandits¸ withstanding plagues¸ facing down madness¸ enduring unexpected visits from the Pope¸ and more. A Round of play represents a year and may have many battle events. Rounds continue until the Seven Provinces are cleared down to their essential characteristics and have no bandits¸ and only one Noble remains in the field to rule. Simple and conventional mechanisms. Absorbing solitaire play. Invaluable tool for creating mutli-generational histories and timelines for fiction.
