Sefirot is a mix of board game and Tarot divination, both playful and meditative. The game features four different play modes for one or two players, using a reversible board and a deck of specially designed Tarot cards. The game is not meant to impress with over-complicated mechanics, but to foster exploration and communication via play. Silver Seals takes what worked from the first edition, and transmutes it into an elevated form. The three original game modes – Solitaire, Co-operative and Competitive – are lighter, faster and more balanced. The Solitaire board now makes use of the Sun and Moon spaces; the two-player board makes use of Ouroboros connections, allowing flanking maneuvers. The co-operative mode also has more mechanics for card-trading. In short, a tighter play experience, so you can focus on the cut and thrust of play, and read the cards afterwards. It also includes Adventure Mode: Dream Odyssey, our new one-player mode, The player seeks the blessing of a God or Spirit at the apex of the Tree of Life. Each node holds a challenge: a Tarot character who must be turned to your side via skillful cardplay.
