Quirky and funny, embrace the weirdness
I ended up buying 2 copies, cos so cheap and we wanted to play with a 2nd casting deck to enable longer play time. Found the game, like Scopa, Basra & Casino, on which this game is based, too short for us. A 2nd deck sorted that easily.Very nice quality production. Slight warping of linen playing cards which goes away with play handling. Playing mat is excellent quality, sort felt material so cards don't slip. Moonstones are opaque white glass beads. Feel nice. Art and style is fun, colour scheme muted a v classy. Zodiac theme tongue in cheek. A child off the game Illimat. This a slightly simplified. We enjoy much.

Excellent aesthetic and good quality components
I am not familiar with The Morbid Network of podcasts, so I am not sure how this game relates to it. However it's clear that it has astrological overtones and a rather pleasing aesthetic.The box art is beautifully designed with a linen finish. Inside the box there is a fabric game mat, two decks of cards, a lunar dial, moonstone counters, and a set of rules. All of the components are good quality with great art work. The game set up appears a little complex at first, but after a play through it is actually quite straightforward. The rule set doesn't help here as it describes lots of card types but in reality there are only two decks. The game is relatively simple. It's a case of playing and matching cards. For example if you have an 8 you play it against all the 8s in a sector and collect those cards. You can also play it against any cards totalling the number on your card. For example a 5 and a 3. If you collect all the cards in that sector then you gain a moonstone. However there are other elements. For example you can play a card to add to that sector to preemptively collect from that sector next turn. Some of the cards have effects that need to be resolved. Additionally there are moon phases activated by the moon dial which restricts the types of cards that can be played. It actually flows quite nicely and ultimately the player with the most moonstones wins the game.A high quality game with a great aesthetic. My only real issue is the theme and rule set don't feel entirely allied. This isn't a major issue and if anything widens the appeal of a well thought out and easy to play game.

Beautiful and unique
This is such a unique card/board game and I fell in love with the aesthetics straight away. It is really well made and the design is beautiful. From the colour scheme, and the fabric game mat to the moonstone counters. It took a little while to get my head around the instructions at first as it's a lot to take in but once you get the hang of it, it is lots of fun. Some parts became clearer during the game. I love the fact that you get a card reading at the end of the game!

Perfect for zodiac/moon lovers
I love the concept of this game and everything is such good quality and it was a really fun game to play. It’s pretty easy to get the hang of playing it and it’s definitely suitable for a range of ages to play together. I also really like the board is actually material.If you love the podcast and enjoy witchy, celestial things then this is the board game for you.

Really fun!
This tarot card based board game is unlike anything else me and my mum have played before, and we really enjoyed it! Everything feels high quality, the illustrations are beautiful and it’s got a pretty decent gameplay length. It took us a little while to get the hang of the rules, but once we got going it was really fun collecting the moonstones and we got quite competitive! Nice to have a game that works with just 2 people too

Different and interesting game
This is an interesting and different board game than the usual ones we buy as a family. Played it with my teenage daughter and her friend, aim is to collect moonstones and this game is not too drawn out so keeps you entertained.
