VITA · the tenth Guardian

Illustrated portrait of VITA

VITA, the vaquita

Territory: Upper Gulf of California.

She is the newest Guardian and the one in the biggest hurry: very few vaquitas are left in the world, and all of them live in this corner of the sea.

Her story now has a voice: read it, play her 80 cards in Spanish, English, and French, and bring her to your table, 3D-printed.

“He didn't set that net either. And he got caught too.”

A line from the deck.

This Guardian's world now goes with you: the next door you open will remember who you chose.

Three cards from the deck

How much do you know about this Guardian's world?

An encounter from the deck

His grandfather fished totoaba when it was legal. His father, shrimp. He got the closed sea. He sands his beached panga though he doesn't know when it will go out again. “I never killed a vaquita,” he says. “But the bill came to me.”

Two challenges for this week

At the seafood place I ask how the shrimp was caught; if nobody knows, I order something else.
If I find a stranded sea animal, I don't touch it or put it back in the water: I report it and wait.

“This is how we dreamed of her. She comes to your table 3D-printed in a single color, ready for you to paint.”

The figure

A Guardian with a staff of water

A diadem with a drop of water, a green cape of seaweed, and a staff that is pure wave. She stands on her own piece of sea, with a lotus flower at her feet.

The figure comes in the Guardian Pack, along with her 80 cards, her Villain, her story, and an engraved coaster.

The story

The Edge of Silence

Nita is learning to see with her ears. The rock answers her. The fish answers her. But in front of her hangs something that barely answers at all.

32 illustrated pages. Ages 10 and up.

Card languages

The project has up to 8 languages; these are the ones for this Guardian. “Available” does not always mean “reviewed by specialists”: we explain this in Behind every card.
