>It was characterization for the king, a character that was mysterious and also the lynchpin for the entire arc.
This also applies to Morena, the card game our first real look at her character beyond her mission statement we got in her introduction. Morena may not be the lynchpin of the entire arc but she is undeniably an important character.
>There were also cute themes and endless role reversals within their interaction.
Again, Morena does this with Borksen and reveals that she has a charming and playful side.
>Tell me, what are the themes of the morena card game.
Morena's card game itself is revealing about who she is and how she operates. Morena's ability by nature offers her opponent's agency within the game and cannot force them to consent and join her unless the explicitly break the rules and cheat. Morena herself never experienced this and lived most of her life as rapemeat. The game perfectly aligns with this while shining a light on military bystanders like Borksen who are complicit in letting Kakin get away with the rape festivals by keeping their heads down. Borksen is offered choice and agency that was never granted to Morena.

The reveal of Morena's abuse suffered at the hands of Kakin also recontextualizes her hatred for Kakin and links her striking back at her abusers with a found family to the Phantom Troupe, who are doing the same thing. This also paints her as a direct parallel to Chrollo.

>Do you want to reread the card game? Have you done so? If so, why?
I have and I have enjoyed it.
