Beneath the Wishing Tree

Beneath the Wishing Tree By Ziva McPhearson

Deep in the enchanted forest, passed all the dangers, there is an enchanted tree said to grant any wish, guarded by a herd of magical unicorns. You must venture into this forest, clear the trials and tribulations and seek out the unicorns to fulfill your heart's desire.

This game is played over 3 rounds of trials and one final round as a conclusion. To start, you draw one major arcana to represent the unicorn you will meet at the end of the journey. 

For each trial, you draw one minor arcana card and answer the corresponding prompt. The prompts will then have you draw an additional card as a result. Some of the results will offer you a choice and an additional card to draw, while others are shorter and make the choice for you. 

In the conclusion, you meet your unicorn, tally up the points you've earned based upon that particular unicorn's requirements, and see if they are able to grant your wish. 

I played as someone who had been cursed, and upon venturing into the forest, received several more curses before finally meeting their unicorn who was ultimately unable to help them. You can read my playthrough HERE
