2:33: I believe you've got the arrows backwards. You can read the arrow as 'trumps', so green (Spring) would trump purple (Winter) if it were lead. The intention is that each season is trumped by the one that follows it, though you're not the only one confused by the board, as seen by some comments on BGG.
Mori would be "die", I think, but my latin is poor. I think it is playing off "memento mori" which was a way of dealing with death and remembering lost loved ones. It used symbols like the ones shown on the cards as a way of remembering. It was most popular during the post renaissance period, although we still do things today.
Momento Mori (pronounced more-ee), means Remember Death in Latin. Often used to reflect and remember that we all die…remembering that, helps us focus on how we choose to live our life well. (Also, remembering the dead and praying for the dead - which is often portrayed with skulls and flowers and “Day of the Dead” traditions).
I was hoping the dice had something to do with area control. area control trick taking?(please reader, put me in the thank you notes in the rule book when you bring this idea to life)
