Place cards to attack, then spin the entire board a quarter-turn, every card flips its meaning at once.
The board is a grid holding enemies with hit points. Draw tarot cards into your hand and place them on empty cells. Each card has an upright effect and an inverted reversed effect. Rotating the whole board 90° clockwise flips every placed card between the two, so position and timing are everything. Resolve to apply all card effects and whittle the enemies down before your move budget runs out.
An original tactics game using the tarot's own convention rather than its mysticism: a card has an upright meaning and a reversed one, and which applies depends on orientation.
Here that is a board state. Cards are placed on a grid to attack, and rotating the whole board a quarter-turn flips every card's meaning at once — your own pieces included.
Which makes the rotation the real move. It is never straightforwardly good: the same turn that inverts an enemy's effect inverts yours, so the decision is about whose board position survives being turned upside down, and a winning layout can be undone by one spin.
Tarot Tactics is an original turn-based grid puzzle that turns board rotation into a meaning-bending mechanic. Free to play in your browser, made in-house at PlayPendium.
