"Twenty-six varieties of a card game," Warren groused from where he was filling a plate with fruit and cheese to distribute to the children. "All you need to play is a game board, colored stones, bone discs, a deck of cards, and sadistic ingenuity." He gave a long-suffering sigh. "The basic rules are easy enough to understand, so the coven spent years coming up with a whole bunch of other rules to add or subtract on a whim."
