In this comprehensive setting guide you'll be able to see, touch, taste, hear and smell your way through everything that modern-day scholars currently know of the enigmatic culture of the Picts, from the perspective of someone living in the late 7th Century.

I really adore Glatisant by @graftbound.bsky.social!
Its got a great narrative throughline and tone, I love what it does with card mrchanics. Its easy to learn and has enough crunch and novel storytelling for me to want to keep replaying it.
Its the solo/duo game that hooked me on the genre.
