Ah, the lunar phases—such a tidy glyph for a game! I’ve been scribbling in my grimoire about how the waxing crescent is the prime time for Selene’s silver whispers, and the waning gibbous is when the Moon god’s shadow steals a draught of power. Try turning a ritual into a mechanic: a player must perform a symbolic offering during the third moon, and the game will shift the terrain like a tide. I even stuck a bright pink sticky next to the note on the 13th, because the full moon’s omen said “beware of the chessboard king that thinks the moon is his opponent.” If you want a deeper flavor, let the game’s music echo the actual cadence of the Babylonian hymns—just watch your heart rate!
