Play as a Steam Android Protector with an affinity to the Moon, as fast and as powerful as a steam engine.

Play as a Modded Human Influencer, devout to no Major Arcana but with the world wrapped around your finger.

Play as a Gears Android Operator, who once followed the Star, and wander across the Good Unwilds.

Fool, play as anything you like.

In the game, the Major Arcana are gods, the players are Fools on a journey, and the goal is to decide whether the Fools will fulfil or deny their Obligations to these gods.

To play A Fool’s Errand, players each use a full deck of Tarot Cards to build personal play decks. They then draw cards from these decks to resolve encounters, to use their character’s special skills and abilities, and to progress their character’s story.

Which Major Arcana will you satisfy? Which will you enrage? As Player Characters grow increasingly powerful, they will make powerful allies and enemies of the gods, while shaping the very fabric of Planet Arcana.
