Moirai

About the game

What is Moirai?

The Moirai (often called The Three Fates in English) are goddesses from Greek mythology. They have set their spinning wheel in motion to weave the destiny of humankind. Clotho spins together the thread of life, Lachesis uses her rod to measure the lengths of that thread, and Atropos is in charge of deciding when to cut a soul’s thread. As commanded by the three Moirai, the players must create a loom with cards in which various lives will be woven together. On their turn, players choose to keep a card or take an entire discarded pile and place all those cards in their loom. At the end of Moirai, the players score points according to the scoring criteria of Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos cards. Whoever does the best wins. —description from the publisher
