Scales of Influence

Scales of Influence is a hidden-role strategy game where players act as aides to a spiritual realm, using tarot to shape an unseen conflict between Light, Shadow, and Harmony. Through the Traveler’s Tarot—a full-color, illustrated 78-card tarot deck—players channel influence and energy into a fragile balance. Each decision subtly shifts the Scale, but no one’s true allegiance is certain. Light and Shadow push toward control, while Harmony aims to maintain equilibrium. The game's outcome is anything but predetermined, as every choice a player makes can have great affect on the Scale.
