Talent
Basic Talent
Talent +1
Your cards are your sound.
Every song starts with a hand of cards. There are 94 of them: talent to write with, people to bring in, gear that changes how you sound, and practice that makes you better at all of it. No two artists finish a season with the same collection.
Uniqueness is the odd one out. Talent adds to a song; uniqueness multiplies it. A card that carries uniqueness is worth more the better the rest of your hand already is, which is why it has no number to compare.
Everybody starts with the same ten cards
Ten plain talent cards, and no shop that sells better ones. You grow the ones you have, and the card you were bored of drawing turns into the one you were hoping for.

The day you can afford the next rung is the day you have outgrown the one you are on. Every genre has its own, so where you climb says what kind of artist you turned out to be.
The rest is who you decide to be
The people you write with, the gear you write on, and the practice in between. New ones turn up in the shop nearly every week, so there is always something to want.
