The Reading

You are a reader of the cards.

Clients arrive at your table — anxious merchants, grieving widows, haunted exiles — each seeking answers. Draw from your tarot deck, place cards into the spread, and meet their Insight threshold before your credibility runs out.

How to play

• Navigate a branching map of clients with escalating demands
• Place cards into the Three Fates spread: Past, Present, and Future
• Match suits to positions for bonus Insight, and chain combos for score multipliers
• Reversed cards cut your score — or supercharge it with the right Major Arcana
• Visit the Sanctum between readings to enchant cards with Gilded, Radiant, or Shadow power
• Beware client dispositions: Skeptics weaken your multipliers, the Closed Off reverse your entire hand
• Lose a reading and your credibility drops. Reach zero and the run is over.
