It uses a deck of tarot cards to build characters, plan a heist and determine opposition, and to resolve every risky action the players make in an attempt to claim power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayers take on the roles of Royals, desperate modern-day magicians with wizard blood left over from the time of sorcerer-kings and witch-queens. Each court card in the deck comes with its own player character concept, such as the cruel mask-cutting Queen of Swords, the wild and impetuous Princess of Wands, or the unsettlingly calm Knight of Pentacles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey’re going to take down one of the major arcana, or the Arcane. The Arcane were once human just like the player characters, but vast power and long centuries have twisted them weird and iconic. Death starts revolutions, the Hanged Man builds border walls, the Sun sells serotonin supplements and the Magus installs spyware on company laptops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to steal the power from a demigod you’ll have to be clever about it. You can’t go in all guns blazing: Royal Blood deals in heists. Using a spread of tarot cards, you’ll determine what stands in the way of the player characters and what they can subvert to their own ends. No preparation is required, and you can go from zero to game in about half an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen it’s a simple matter of stealing power from the most dangerous people in the world – but they’re old, and complacent, and set in their ways. They’ve been in charge for too long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTime to get to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRevised and expanded, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoyal Blood \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehas doubled in size since its original publication in 2016.
