The Five Phases

Dan

Hello! It's Monday, and let me have a look at what's releasing today... oh, we're just doing this, are we?

After all that worrying I was doing last week that we'd get in trouble with Nicki Minaj's people if we released a "Pink Friday" pack, today we've got a Blue Monday Pack and all of a sudden we're not worried about the wrath of New Order?

Fair enough, our Black Friday deals roll on.

Wuxing is the concept in Chinese philosophy that explains cycles of change and development, through five phases - typically characterised as Earth, Fire, Water, Wood and Metal. Each of them begets one of the others, and each of them is overcome by one of the others. So, Earth leads to Metal; Metal leads to Water; Water leads to Wood (are you just going to list out all the connections? - Ed); Wood leads to Fire; Fire leads to Earth (oh, we're really doing this. - Ed); Metal overcomes Wood; Water overcomes Fire; Wood overcomes Earth (you know you don't have word quotas, right? You don't have to pad this out. - Ed); Fire overcomes Metal; and Earth overcomes Water (what a great use of all our times. - Ed)

For all you fans of middling-to-awful sitcoms, it's essentially a giant cosmic Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock. The Wuxing CUE card is a fantastic Energy reducer for Marvellous Medicine and Watching the Skies, and it's available in today's Duality Pack!
