Let’s Begin…

Hundreds of years ago, your ancestor stole a magical tarot deck from Fate herself— and it came with a terrible cost. Once every 23 years, one member of your family must face Fate in a duel with rules only known to your opponent. And every time, generation after generation, the outcome is the same: Fate claims their soul. Today, it’s your turn. Can you defeat Fate? Dan Finkel shows how.

Is it possible for you to take the largest 11 cards (13 - 23) and for Fate to take the smallest 12 cards (1 - 12)? Why or why not?
