A Thief's Fortune

Players portray alternate possible futures of the same thief who gains the power to glimpse and shape what comes next after touching a mysterious hourglass. Over five rounds, players draft location, event, and character cards into their future tableau, place resource tokens on those cards, and spend or extract those resources. When a card’s resources are depleted it moves into the present area where its ability can be activated to score fortune points. Play balances tableau-building and timing: selecting which cards to draft, when to deplete them, and how to trigger their powers to maximize points while advancing a path away from pursuing threats.
