- Solo players who like reflective science-fiction journaling
- Worth noticing
- Every Ace advances a longer story thread; the fourth Ace ends it, giving the card draws a campaign arc.
Field notes
The rules are presented through the log of one pilot, with worked entries showing how prompts become prose. The page says a deck lasts roughly eighteen entries and that a player can stop after any one of them. An optional Close Calls chapter adds a twenty-sided die for danger, while the main game can be played without it.
