About the game

What you do in a play session

Seven Prophecies is a trick-taking card game that blends betting, bluffing, and predictions in a fantasy setting. Each game involves 3 to 4 players who receive a standard 52-card deck. Before each trick, players must announce how many times they will finish in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th place, based on the known suits that will be played. The goal is to make your prediction come true: the first to fulfill their prediction earns points. The betting mechanic adds a layer of strategy, as players can wager on positions they deem most likely or try to deceive opponents with bluffs. The game is quick, with sessions lasting between 25 and 35 minutes, making it ideal for group play. While the premise seems simple, the need to read opponents' intentions and forecast card futures creates a tense, engaging experience. Seven Prophecies combines the excitement of bluffing games with the logic of card games, offering a unique experience for those who enjoy testing their reading and prediction skills.
