As an aspiring 19th-century novelist, you're paid by the word to complete romance, mystery, adventure, and horror novels. Start with your own personal deck of letter cards, use them to acquire new cards, and reshuffle your deck throughout the game.

Specialize your deck in certain genres to exploit card combinations, and press your luck with ink to draw extra cards - but make sure you can still string a word together!

Earn enough prestige to complete your masterpiece and be recognized as the finest novelist of the age.
