FAQ

What does Destruction tend to bring?
You tend to read as a current in motion breaking or getting cut. It's read as a plan falling through or stalling, but it can also be a turning point — cutting the stale to start anew. Read the break itself as a chance to clear things, and the grain shifts.
Are Destruction and Clash the same?
They look alike but read differently. Clash is opposites colliding to produce moves and replacements; Destruction is something breaking and stopping. If Clash is an impact that swaps positions, Destruction reads as a continuation getting cut.
