Poem
The flavor text on Seb McKinnon's drop of cards features the following story-poem written by his brother Liam. The poem was also used in the accompanying introduction video (with the music created by Seb).[4]
"Moth to my Light
Cease resistance
Hand over the reigns
To your mind
All deeds once committed
Repaid now in kind
Tempest ends
And water stills
Gently reinventing
The shape of all things"
Bonus cards
Happy Little Gathering comes with an Evolving Wilds illustrated by Bob Ross and with one of his typical quotes.[6]
