## Reconsider Tempo
The Guide decides how quickly the story progresses with the [Reconsider Tempo](https://sproutingtales.sabrinateenlich.win/books/playtest-rules/page/tempo#reconsider_tempo) card.

> The Guide may move a card from the top of the Tempo Deck to the bottom. The Guide may repeat this up to eight times.
>
> Then, activate the top card of the Tempo Deck. 

## Tempo Deck
The [Tempo Deck](https://sproutingtales.sabrinateenlich.win/books/playtest-rules/page/tempo#tempo_deck) is an ordered pile of nine face-up cards. Eight cards are units of time. The ninth card defines the Tempo Deck and serves as a reference to players.

The top card of the Tempo Deck shows what unit of time the current scene transpires in. 

For example, if the top Tempo card is `Days` then the story focuses on what characters do each day but the individual hours, minutes, and moments of those days are not particularly relevant.
