Skirmish Game : The Suits and Game Pieces

Pieces

The Tarot deck represents strategy and forethought, as well as the careful arrangements of divination and magic.

The dice represent a model's innate skill and the vagaries of fortune.

The bids represent effort, which must be husbanded until the proper time.

Suits

Each model has certain innate faculties with each of the four Suits.

The suit of Swords stands for physical combat and skill at arms. It may be used to defend in melee, or in challenges where raw strength and toughness are required.

Cups are the call to the Holy, for actions that require inspiration, or for the work of surgeons and doctors. They defend against things that erode the willpower, and that which corrupts or seduces.

Wands are used in all types of magic, and defend against it as well. They also are used in challenges which involve the Elements.

Pentacles (or Discs) represent the mechanical and industrious forces. They defend against combat at range and are involved in contests of trickery and stealth as well.
