2024, the year of the Wood Dragon

The Year of the Wood Dragon is meant to be a very lucky year. I'm excited to share a peak at some of the wonderful art Minh Nguyễn has been working on for our upcoming game. He has made over 60 unique illustrations for the game, which is inspired by the sexagenary cycle, also known as the stems-and-branches or ganzhi.

The earthly branches are represented by the 12 zodiac animals, while the heavenly stems are expressed as the 5 elements for each animal. The deck of cards will perfectly match the 60-year-cycle and can be used to determine your zodiac animal based on your birth year. We hope to inspire more curiosity in this cherished system, while also bringing together friends and family around the table.

We’ll have much more to share in the coming months, including more art and details on the game, so stay tuned!
