About the Game

Terrible Worm is a solitaire (patience) card game using a 78 card Tarot deck.

Leaders from the four families form armies and fight till only one remains, while putting down bandits, withstanding plagues, facing down madness, enduring unexpected visits from the Pope, and more.

A Round of play represents a year and may have many battle events. Rounds continue until the Seven Provinces are cleared down to their essential characteristics and have no bandits, and only one Noble remains in the field to rule.

Simple and conventional mechanisms. Absorbing solitaire play. Invaluable tool for creating multi-generational histories and timelines for fiction.
