The Shipwreck Arcana: The Restless Hours Promo Card

About this expansion

The Shipwreck Arcana: The Restless Hours Promo Card is an alternate Hours card for 2–5 players, with a 30-minute play time and a 2021 release year. Delivered with the Atma RPG Kickstarter, it features Atma-themed art and introduces the variant Doom rules from the print-and-play content on the Shipwreck Arcana site.

This version offers an alternate approach to doomed difficulty. Instead of using a doom tracker, the game tracks pressure directly through the arcana deck. The setup changes the available deck size, creating a focused supply of cards for the session.

To begin, shuffle the deck of arcana cards and remove cards until only 15 cards remain. Start play as normal, but leave the doom tracker out of the game.

1. Whenever doom would be accrued, remove that many cards from the bottom of the deck instead.
2. When a faded power is used, remove that card from the game rather than returning it to the bottom of the deck.

The Shipwreck Arcana: The Restless Hours Promo Card changes how the deck is depleted, making the remaining cards central to the outcome. The game ends in victory when the players reach 7 points.

Players lose if no deck remains when a card fades or when doom is accrued. With its alternate rules, limited 15-card deck, and Atma-themed presentation, this promo card provides a distinct way to play The Shipwreck Arcana.
