Description
Publisher's summary
七つの予言 (Nanatsu no Yogen) (Seven Prophecies) is a betting trick-taking card game.
Story
You can predict the future, the order whereby the cards are played. You thought that you'd never lose the game with such a skill, but it seems that all the players can predict the future likewise. Will you manage to make your prediction come true and win the future?
Overview
The players, using the cards dealt to them as their hands, play 7 to 10 units of mini-games, called tricks. Before starting the game, predict how many times you will come 1st, 2nd, and other places. The first player to make their prediction come true will score points.
More Detailed Overview
While in many betting trick-taking games, the players announce how many tricks they will win, in Seven Prophecies, the players must announce how many times they will come 1st, 2nd, and other places, like coming 1st twice, 2nd once, 3rd once, and 4th three times.
Does it sound too difficult? Not at all!
Because you "know the future!"
Before you start the game, you know the lead suits of all the tricks (what color cards to be played), so compare them with your hand and announce with which cards you're likely to win.
However, note that other players can also predict the future and thus have acquired the same information. Try to also read other players' thoughts and predict which places you will come.

Quotes (from this video)
- The Crew Mission Deep Sea. the crew uh and the crew search plan 9 was one of the first like it was the first co-op trick you're taking ever played I think and deep sea is better because the goals you get are v more varied
- It takes like a dummy player to a whole new level.
- So, the reason The Crew is not on my list is because they kind of share this spot. So, you can say I've made a top 11 and the crew is you're my number two and this is my number one. But they're they are different.
- It's a fantastic game. You follow the Lord of the Rings story and there's going to be two more boxes.
- James is the one who is editing all our videos. So thank you so much for that. doing a fantastic job. H these videos wouldn't be as good without James. So, please leave a comment saying hi to James and thanks for the the work.
