Soothsayers

About the game

What is Soothsayers?

You are a powerful mystic in a tense race against rivals to control the fate of the universe. Capture the Empress, the Moon, even Death itself, and harness the arcane powers of the tarot to bend destiny to your will. On your turn, choose an action: earn coins, draft cards, ascend to higher levels, or capture a tarot card. Rival soothsayers may choose to follow your action, but if you have a higher level, they must pay you for the privilege. Each tarot card you capture grants you a new game-changing ability. Combine these with your leveled-up actions to create unstoppable combos. Seize the tokens of Fate before your rivals to win the game! —description from the publisher
