What to Expect

You weave a personal card 'loom' inspired by the three Fates: Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. On your turn you either keep a single card or take an entire discard pile and add those cards to your loom. At the end, scoring on Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos cards determines the winner.

Who Is This Game For?

Suitable for players who prefer compact sessions: with a 30-minute duration Moirai is a short family-level card game with tactical choices. Recommended from age 10; no deep prior experience is required, but pattern-focused play rewards more experienced players.

How It Works

Core gameplay revolves around building a card loom by selecting single cards or claiming discard piles. The mechanics Pattern Building and Variable Set-up create varying starting conditions and encourage arranging cards into scoring patterns. Final scoring evaluates how your collected cards fulfill the three Fate criteria.
