The Game

The Game is the motivation for the creation of the Black Deck. The Joker claims to have the power to bring on the next Age, but to have no particular vision regarding what that next Age should be. The Joker has promised that if anyone wins The Game, he will shape the next Age in accordance with the winner's wishes.

According to the Joker, a Black Deck suit will win The Game if they bring him all four Keys. They will lose if their Ace is killed. Elven Secrets (the "wild cards") will win if they bring all four Keys to the Joker, or if they kill all four Aces. If Elven Secrets wins The Game and decides not to force a new Age, the Joker has promised to grant each of them a wish.
