Master illuminators in a medieval abbey gather inks, gold leaf, and techniques to create the most splendid manuscript before time runs out.

Gameplay

Draft supplies from a shared mat and place them onto your manuscript page, or turn the page to score finished work and keep new technique powers. The tension is timing—grabbing what you need without pushing the abbot toward ending the game or being forced to move on unfinished.
