22 Card Tarot Deck

Full Send is a game about mountaineering for three-to-five players. 

In it, players take on the role of professional climbers caught between their passion for the sport, personal obligations, and the pressures of everyday life. 

Part freeform slice-of-life and part tactical sports RPG, play to find out if make your name as a climbing legend, or die trying.

Full Send’s innovative mechanics utilise a single tarot deck. Major Arcana cards are used to procedurally generate mountains and obstacles, while the Minor Arcana are used in a unique trick-taking game which determines how successful climbers are in their attempts to summit. As climbers earn fame and glory, they make steps to improve their quality of life and invest in their performance on the mountain. But the longer life goes on, the more their luck is running down. And on the mountains, a single mistake can cost you everything.

Mechanically complex and narratively satisfying, this new game from writer Laurie O’Connel is packed with facts and stories about mountaineering, and features detailed prewritten summits for five of the world’s most famous mountains. 

Features

• Tarot-Driven Mechanics: A high-stakes system that uses a standard 78-card tarot deck. Minor Arcana represent your technical skills, physical resources, and luck, while Major Arcana represent the mountain.
• Trick-Taking Challenges: Resolve tense summit pushes through a trick-taking loop where you must outplay the mountain's hazards and your fellow climbers.
• The Great Peaks: Includes detailed guides for five legendary climbs, each with unique hazards, narrative prompts, and historical detail.
• Slice of Life, Modular Character Advancement: Spend your character's glory points to develop your lifestyle and maintain your relationships. Every lifestyle choice you make changes the way you climb. As you get richer and more famous, you might have access to more resources, but the pressure and risk can only increase.  
• Tales From The Mountains: Useful facts and stories to help you play realistically, and learn about this extremely fascinating sport as you do so. 
• Tactics and Oneshot Modes: For players who want to play a tactical card game a bit more than they want to roleplay, and for players who only have a few hours to spare.
