"Every Coven has its own practises. This one is built up through cards, cards that we find, cards that we take, and then cards that we use to change the world." - Unknown

Welcome to "A Coven of Cards," a spellbinding game where players step into the role of a powerful witch. Build your community, influence society, and navigate the delicate balance between the human world, nature, and the esoteric. Will your decisions lead to ruin or prosperity?

Build Your Coven

Assemble a coven of up to 12 sisters, each with their unique abilities and motives. Choose wisely, for the wrong mix of allies may spell your downfall.

Practice Witchcraft

Brew potions, perform rituals, and cast spells as you navigate a world where witches are feared and hunted. Embrace the esoteric to empower yourself, aid humanity, or sever ties with society – the choice is yours.

Read Your Tarot

Tarot is the lifeblood of your coven. Eight times a year, during each Sabbat, receive a new reading and a fresh set of Major Arcana cards to wield your influence. But beware: each card's meaning has far-reaching implications, and stacked arcana may bring unexpected consequences.

Unleash Your Power

With 12 Major Arcana slots in your inventory and countless card combinations, you decide how to harness the esoteric powers you acquire. Will you be swift and agile, hacking and slashing with your athame, or will you showcase the awe-inspiring power of your spellcasting abilities?

Face The Consequences

Your actions as a witch hold great power and influence over the world. People remember your deeds, whether graceful or vengeful. Be prepared to make difficult choices and face the consequences of your decisions.

Dive into "A Coven of Cards" and discover if you have what it takes to thrive in a world of magic and mystery. Will you rise to become the ultimate witch, or will your actions lead to your own destruction? The choice is in your hands.
