Gold Bordered Cards

Gold Bordered cards start and continue stories.

These cards appear to introduce and involve stories of notable consequence, most of which are unlocked in "Part Two" of the game after becoming A Person of Some Importance. It is not known yet whether or not the cards associated with the Person of Some Importance quality appear if that storylet is incomplete. It can also be difficult to distinguish between bronze and gold borders.

FailBetter introduces "Part Two" of the game on their blog here.

In December 2013, Failbetter changed the borders on some cards. Fewer cards may now appear Gold.

A disgraceful spectacle (Rare)

A gentleman proceeds along the street: he is soberly dressed in all respects except one. A constellation of shining stones orbits his hat! Whatever intemperate mountebankery this might be, it is plain that Londoners are not impressed…

Ask the man: what are they?

You've seen nothing like these stones, at least in waking life.

Ask why he is thus adorned

What might a gentleman hope to gain from this garish display?

Snatch a stone

Who cares why? This will fetch a pretty penny at Nikolas the Pawnbroker.
