Vindication: Chronicles

Adds a narrative layer and new player components to the base game experience. Chronicle cards introduce narrated prompts and meaningful choices whenever a player gains a card (companion, relic, trait, monster, pet, etc.), with another player reading the prompt and recording the decision to build an individualized story for that acquisition. Large, full‑color player sheets track those decisions and attribute progression; reaching thresholds grants legendary status in an attribute, a new ability, and a special tarot‑style card to display beside the player tile. A deck of global event cards creates changing conditions across the island that alter availability, hazards, and rewards until players resolve them.
