Why all the best game developers play Tarot

Card mode I’m not sure I trust the Page of Cups. As imagined by Pamela Colman Smith and A.E. Waite in the 1909 Rider-Waite Tarot, he’s a cocky young man in a floral tunic, standing by the seashore hefting a goblet. There’s a fish peeking out of the goblet and the Page appears to be gossiping with it, perhaps sharing a joke about the artist, because honestly, what kind of artist paints a guy talking to fish....

And Jurassic World Evolution 2 has sold a million copies Most Warhammer Fantasy games - including Creative Assembly’s Total Warhammer series - take place in theOld World, which Age Of Sigmar is effectively a sequel to.
