I adore the design of the Spindlewheel deck and the ways of creating tarot-style games, both as part of other RPGs and as stories in their own right. Spindlewheel Detective is my absolute favourite generator of the collection and I'm pleased that it has managed to inspire other games using the system.

In many ways, Spindlewheel is more of a scaffolding than a single game with a rigid set of rules—and this microgame compilation is a shining example of the breadth and depth that the scaffolding has to offer. The generators and maps offer an immediate and easy avenue for new players to learn the flexibility of the Spindlewheel deck, whereas more sophisticated spreads like Detective and The Mountain provide players the chance to exercise more lateral storytelling connections. The collaborative nature of these games makes them approachable for veterans and newcomers alike.
