The Old Ways Must Go feels like an important game. It's about calling out the "old ways" and working together to create the "new ways." Throughout the game text, the emphasis on changing systems and structures and the importance of community really comes through. This is a game that is asking the players to reflect thoughtfully on the "old ways" and being creative for how they can be changed. And right now is an important time to be going through such as ritual.
The game being framed as a ritual works very well and there are great ways this is reinforced in the text. Players use tarot cards for inspiration and there are moments where players must recite specific words together that really drives home the ritual feeling. The way the cards are laid out during play also has strong ritual imagery.
Collaboration and discussion are key to this game and are encouraged during each of the game rounds. Higher player counts likely would create the most engaging sessions, though there is a solo variant included as well.
Also, I highly recommend the physical copy and the cloth playmat. Both are high quality and, the cloth playmat especially, beautiful!
