About the game
What you do in a play session
In Soothsayers, you're a powerful mystic in a thrilling race to control the universe's fate. With tarot cards brimming with arcane powers, you'll capture the Empress, the Moon, and even Death to bend reality to your will. Each turn, choose between earning coins, drafting cards, leveling up, or capturing a tarot card—but watch out, rivals can follow your actions (and even pay you for the privilege if you're ahead). Every captured card grants game-changing abilities, and combining them with upgraded actions creates combos that'll leave opponents stunned. The goal? Be the first to seize Fate tokens and prove you're the cosmos' true master. Get ready for a game full of twists, bluffs, and serious power at your fingertips!
