The invention relates generally to a fortune telling game and particularly to a game having a board with eight prognosticative card sites utilizing eight Prophesy Coins as positional and rotational identifiers and used in conjunction with any style deck or decks of tarot cards to obtain a psychic reading for fun and entertainment.

The following patents U.S. Pat. No. 5,499,818 issued to Allal (1995), and U.S. Pat. No. 6,460,852 issued to Tallian (2002) both have a game board with specific locations and a set of cards signifying these locations for the placement of other playing cards. However in my game, the eight Prophesy Coins not only identity eight numerical game board location sites for eight selected tarot cards, but also designate how these tarot cards are rotated, which adds a new dimension not offered by any other card game. Each tarot card is placed either right side-up or upside down depending upon whether the Prophesy Coin is dispensed either “Normal” side up or “Reverse” side up respectively. Since the tarot card selection, rotation and placement on the game board are random, a greater number of card permutations are possible thus offering very unique prognosticative readings.

The Prophesy Coins Game is a unique, yet simple fortune telling game played with eight numbered Prophesy Coins, a specially designed Prophesy Coin Dispenser, a pliable fabric game board, and any style of tarot cards for fun and entertainment. This game employs a multi-random card and coin selection process that offers the Querent a unique statistical reading of 1 in 7.25×10¹². In step one, a tarot card is randomly chosen from any fortune telling tarot deck. In step two, a Prophesy Coin is obtained at random from the Prophesy Dispenser/Container. The number on the Prophesy Coin designates a corresponding location site on the game board into which the first selected tarot card is now placed. The orientation of this tarot card whether placed right side up or upside down is determined by whether the Prophesy Coin is dispensed with its “Normal” side up or its “Reverse” side up respectively. This procedure is repeated seven more times until all eight tarot cards are successively positioned and oriented on the game board sites. The eight numbered boxed location sites are identified with specific prognosticative inscriptions, and when viewed collectively with their corresponding tarot cards, define a psychic reading unique to the query.

A major advantage of the Prophesy Coins Game is that it can be used with all types of tarot cards, which as a result will yield a reading relative to the theme and style of the deck being used. And to present an even wider cosmic latitude of prophesy for the more advanced students of divination, cards from different tarot decks can be shuffled together and used in combination.

Another benefit of this game is the eight Prophesy Coins, which when dispensed from a uniquely designed Prophesy Coin Dispenser/Container, randomly generates the location site and the orientation for each of the eight tarot cards picked by the Player. No other fortune telling game provides for the rotation of a playing card as the result from a random generated outcome, as is the case in the Prophesy Coins Game. Using this method, the final reading has a statistical probability of 1 in 7.25×10¹² which is quite unique. Also since the tarot card in location box No. 1 is also adventitiously selected, neither the Player nor Reader has any control or decision over the “Query” to be analyzed, which improves on the game\'s psychic phenomenon. The Prophesy Coins Game provides hours of fun and entertainment for both the novice students of divination while challenging those prophets with more advanced psychic skills.
