Accretion

In keeping with holiday tradition, here is 2023’s power ranking of Oblique Strategies cards, as a predecessor to two weeks of deep rest. I am deliberately not looking at last year’s ranking. Some may make repeats. If I make the same card #1 two years in a row, then it’s official: god is dead.

Happy holidays, and thanks for your support this year & always. I’m grateful that you read text.
