The Quiet Year uses a deck of cards. The goal of the game is to rebuild a community after collapse. 1 campaign takes place over 1 year in game.
Weave was a game where you used an app and special tarot cards to build your characters and run the game, but I think the servers have gone offline, which is a shame. There was little balance to the character building but it was a lot of fun.
