Esoteric Game Night!

PRS Esoteric Game Night!

Come one, come all! Test your luck at esoteric & historic, family-friendly games of chance & skill!

On the third evening of the week of every moon (third Wednesday of the month) PRS shuffles tarot cards, rolls many-sided dice & advances mystical pieces along ancient gameboard recreations at our monthly community gathering in the bookstore, PRS Esoteric Game Night!

Each month we feature (& play) a family-friendly card, board or parlour game of esoteric or historic note.

JANUARY'S GAME

Mystic Crossroads: Battle of the Fates

It was destined in the cards that Esoteric Game Night once again cross paths with Starlux Games & be the first to host an evening workshop for the coming-soon sequel to their tarot-based, roleplaying, tabletop game Mystic Crossroads.

Mystic Crossroads: Battle of the Fates is an all new tarot-based, die-rolling, fortune-telling, roleplaying adventure of clashing destinies where one player is the Traveler & the other players are the Fates, who must attempt to shape the Traveler's journey!

The elements of the game include a 78-card, folk-art tarot deck, 12 Fate Objective cards, 6 six-sided dice (2 standard, 4 "mystic" — marked with runes & planetary symbols), a hero's journey tarot spread & 30 scoring tokens.

HOW TO PLAY

One player becomes the Traveler, imagining a life path or quest they’ve never taken. The others become the Fates, using tarot cards & intuition to influence how the Traveler's story unfolds.

The Traveler chooses a Call to Adventure & then moves through a series of mythic moments inspired by the Hero’s Journey: crossing a threshold, facing trials, finding allies, meeting an adversary & discovering what is gained in the end.

At each step, the Fates present tarot cards as possible paths forward. The Traveler determines what feels true, while rolls of the dice introduce chance & surprise... because fate is never fully in control.

No tarot experience is necessary. This is a guided, conversational experience focused on reflection, storytelling & shared discoveries.

Game designer Judd King will be on hand to guide game play & help all the Travelers meet their destiny!
