The Tarot Tournament is a mysterious competition in which the Major Arcana cards are each represented by a person, and these people must fight each other in a gladiator-style arena. The main character, known only as The Fool, has no memories and must muddle their way through the Tournament to figure out what’s really going on. Why is this tournament happening? Who are their fellow competitors, and what is the significance of the cards they have been chosen to represent? What’s the deal with the four Aces running the tournament? The Fool slowly uncovers these mysteries and makes some new friends and enemies along the way.
