A downloadable board game

Brief introduction

Target Audience: Adults
Playing Time: 15-60 Minutes
Number of Players: 2 Players
Type: Cooperation, Strategy

The two players take turns to Draw Cards, place Vortex Card, play Perspective Cards, or Use Cards in Ego Field. Emptying the Vortex Deck means a milestone of victory.

However, Vortex Cards often have powerful adverse effects, and we need to digest them at the right time to avoid gathering three of the same Vortex Cards while protecting our Life Cards.

It is possible to recombine the harmful effects of Vortex Cards by using Perspective Cards. This way, we can even turn negative effects into unexpected positive ones!
