Strategy:
Gale not only counters your opponent’s weather cards, but also is great in combination with your own weather cards. For example, you can misdirect your opponent by playing a weather card early in the round, then using Gale to move that weather away from the original row.
About the card:
Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, emerges from the sea on the island of Cyprus, where she is met by symbols of spring. In Roman mythology, Venus is the mother of the Roman people, and Julius Caesar claimed her as an ancestor. The painting was likely done for the Medici family and hung in their Villa di Castello.
The flavor text is a quote from William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”, Hamlet declares his love for Ophelia.
