The basement light flickers, casting jumping shadows across the dusty concrete floor. A forgotten box sits on the old wooden table, its corners worn, spilling out stacks of cards with strange symbols. The air smells of mothballs and damp stone. Jack, Adrian, and Jess are already seated, their faces half-lit, expectant. Jack taps the table, his brother's familiar gesture. "you, can you start?" He slides a box toward you, the cards inside shifting with a whisper. The game waits. Your turn.
