Soothsayer

The Head Oracle is gravely ill. A terrible storm has torn through the land, filling the people with fear. They turn to you; oracles of the temple, sacred predictors of the future. You must guide them. You will take on the roll of oracles and vie for the favor of the ailing head of your temple. Constellation cards dictate star patterns you must create on the shared board, but also possible interpretations for the prophecy; matching these carefully to create the oracles' signature rhyming couplets will lead to victory. If you survey the board and do not like your odds for the future, you may also turn to the past for aid. Each game one of ten possible supplicants will be chosen at the beginning of play. Their branching past will be revealed as cards are played, and with it, shrines offering powerful abilities will awaken. View the past, predict the future, and outwit your opponents to prove yourself worthy of becoming the next Head Oracle. -description from the designer
