Fortune Sticks

2–5 players · 30 min · 14+

Reveal Blessings. Choose your path. Trust your fate.

On your turn, reveal 2 cards into the Sanctuary, then choose:

 Calmly Pray: Take 1 Blessing Card.
 Test The Fate: Draw a fortune stick to attempt taking all cards.

A favorable omen lets you claim everything. An ominous omen can wipe out your progress.

Collect Blessing Cards — Wealth, Beauty, Food, Rest, and Fame — to form sets. Complete 3 different sets, or collect 5 Fame cards, to win the game.

But beware: each completed set applies a permanent penalty, making future turns more difficult.

Play it safe and fall behind, or risk everything to seize your destiny.
