Overview

You are the king’s last fortune-tellers, but after tonight he’s going to make another budget cut and heads will roll. The sacrifices are scattered on the altar and the king is demanding a reading. It’s time to make a future for yourself.

In Portents, players manipulate the Bird Sacrifice Tiles (referred to as “BS Tiles”) into lines of 3 with a shared attribute, called Portents, to collect Omen Tokens from the outside of the Altar. Use Portents to make sets of Omens with a common attribute called Fortunes.

Each turn has two phases: Sleight of Hand and then Scrying. In the Sleight of Hand phase, the active player manipulates the arrangement and composition of the BS Tiles on the Altar. In the Scrying Phase, the active player performs upkeep on the Altar and collects Omens for their Fortunes.

Create one Fortune of 4 Omens or two Fortunes of 3 Omens to win!
