Vibe's take

Fast-escalating and combo-hungry β€” early turns feel modest, but captured tarot abilities stack quickly into genuinely powerful chains by the midgame.

About this game

Soothsayers turns you into a mystic racing rivals to capture the tarot's most powerful cards β€” the Empress, the Moon, even Death itself. Each turn you pick one action: earn coins, draft cards, climb a level, or seize a tarot card outright. Rivals can follow your lead, but if your level outranks theirs, they'll owe you for the privilege β€” and every captured card unlocks a new ability to chain into your next combo.
