This is a nifty setting-creation mini-game that uses Tarot cards. There is a special deck coming soon, which in addition to striking original artwork will include the prompts for the game directly on the cards. Until that arrives, you'll need your own Tarot deck and the lookup tables from this book.
The mini game works something like a less in-depth version of Microscope, although you can go as deep as you want to. It's also a little bit like the Backstory Cards from Magpie, but less specific and more free-form. I look forward to using Decuma in Session Zero of my next campaign, but it could be fun as an evening's entertainment, almost like Fiasco (without the dysfunction - unless you add that in).
The 24 pages here are richly laid out for use on a tablet (although there is a printer-friendly version included as well) and include a cover, a Table of Contents, 10 pages of rules (including variants), the lookup tables, plus five pages of backer names. Well worth the money, and a promising opening bid from a new publisher.
