The player characters have the three stigmata of the 22 Arcaeus (apostles of the light) engraved on their bodies. These each correspond to a Major arcanum of the tarot. The game takes the form of a large book of rules combined with a set of tarot cards and some other cards, which are used in the game. It is now in its third edition, with each version being extended and developed and consequently having a new set of tarot designs.
