Rochi: an original game & divination deck
Rochi is a game composed of 54 cards in six suits. Each card is a stunning and vivid picture, a window onto the world of The Seer, where it first shows in a fast-paced gambling scene in The Stranger Trilogy.
Rochi was co-created by James Ernest and Sonia Orin Lyris. The cards are illustrated by Mark J. Ferrari. All human-created. No AI.
James is also the creator of Patrick Rothfuss’s Tak, which game is shown on the Rochi card The Game.
Rochi is an exotic and compelling game. To play it is to enter another world, to sit in a tavern, and put glinting coins on the stacks. Winning requires finesse, patience, and maybe a little bit of foresight.

The beta form of the game is available for free download from Crab Fragment Labs.
