Why this card
The New York Times reports that horseback archery is making a comeback, featured at the World Nomad Games. I chose 2033 because a sport revival needs roughly a decade to grow from festival curiosity into a thriving tradition with a new generation of competitors. The picture shows the outcome: a full festival on the steppe, a young archer at full gallop with crowds and tents on the far hills, the old skill alive and fast.
