A game about illuminating medieval manuscripts where the central decision each turn is simply whether to keep taking supplies or turn the page and lock in what you have made.
Who it's for
Players who love a beautiful theme and a single, razor-sharp decision repeated under pressure.
Not for you if…
You want lots of moving parts – this deliberately narrows each turn down to one choice.
Vibe's take
Elegant and tense in miniature – the whole game is one recurring question, and answering it a turn too late costs you the page.
