About this board game

Prophecy is a fantasy adventure game for 2–5 players, with sessions lasting about 180 minutes. Originally released as Proroctví, it casts players as fantasy characters traveling through a dangerous land in search of ancient artifacts.

Rather than rolling dice to move around the board, players use a variety of means of transport. The journey leads through a land filled with adventure, where demons guard the surrounding astral realms and protect the treasures that can decide the game.

Each character can develop through an experience system and learn a broad range of skills and spells. Encounters with a large number of monsters may lead to fights, while random events continue to test the abilities of every adventurer.

  • Dice-free movement using different means of transport
  • An experience system for character development
  • Skills and spells to learn
  • Monster fights and challenging random events
  • Five hidden artifacts that shape the race for victory

Every decision carries a cost. After casting a spell or losing a fight, a character’s strength or willpower declines, leaving those abilities in need of healing before they can be fully relied upon again.

The winner is the player who obtains four of the five hidden artifacts, earning the right to become the next king of the land. Prophecy was expanded by Prophecy: Dragon Realm in 2003 and Prophecy: Water Realm in 2006.
