Another new mechanic is four literary \u2018genres\u2019 for cards, each with its own additional traits that provide additional strategic options.<\/p>\n<p>Created by Fowers Games, <em>Hardback\u2019s<\/em> art (again done by Ryan Goldsberry) is lovely and nails the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century aesthetic with charm.
