After the Suit of Paper and the Suit of Rock, here comes the Suit of Scissor (or perhaps Blades – name to be finalized).
Warning Museum-level nudity.
Scissors/blade traditionally symbolize:
- forced change;
- violence;
- destiny;
- death.
The cards:
- Ruler
- Dragon
- Treasure
- Soldier
- Builder
- Seeker
- Lover
- Servant
- Home
- Foot (blank, customizable)
- Teddy bear (blank, customizable)
Note that the blue borders are not part of the cards. They are just there to delimit the safe-to-draw zone. Printed cards should have a little white margin between the part you can see above and the border.
