Portals and Prophets

About this board game

Portals and Prophets is a Bible-themed set collection and hand management game for 2–5 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Set in the year 2200, it puts you in the role of a candidate competing to become a tour guide for the Alpha and Omega time travel company.

For your final test, you and the other finalists are sent back through history. Your goal is to experience biblical events and earn the most points before the game ends. Success depends on choosing which events to attempt and planning your travels carefully.

Time itself is part of the challenge. You must reach the right locations at the right moments in history, while deciding how to manipulate the time capsule to benefit your plans. Every decision can shape which events you are able to witness and how effectively you assemble your collection.

• Set collection: Experience biblical events to score points.
• Hand management: Make meaningful choices about how to use your available options.
• Time travel planning: Coordinate locations and historical timing to reach important events.
• Strategic decisions: Choose your goals and manipulate the time capsule to improve your position.

With setup taking less than two minutes, Portals and Prophets is designed to get players into the action quickly. Its blend of straightforward rules and strategic depth makes it accessible while still offering difficult, meaningful decisions throughout the game.

Whether you are competing to witness the most valuable events or carefully plotting your route through history, Portals and Prophets offers an engaging time-travel challenge for players of all ages. The player with the most points at the end of the game becomes the winner—and proves they are the best candidate for the job.
