What to Expect
In Sibille, 2–4 fortune-tellers compete to gain divine approval. Four deities are selected at setup, each providing a different endgame goal; the first player to fulfill two goals wins. Play revolves around choosing tarot cards from a personal deck to take actions and playing cards face-down to guess opponents. The experience centers on predictive bidding, combos, action chains and direct interaction over customers, artifacts and tracks.
Who Is This Game For?
Sibille targets experienced players (age 12+) who enjoy deduction, bluffing and medium-length strategy games. With about 90 minutes per game, it suits groups willing to invest in planning and reading opponents. It is more a gamer/enthusiast title than a light family filler.
How It Works
Each player has a personal tarot deck and selects cards to trigger printed actions (Hand Management). Players also play cards face-down to predict opponents' plays (Betting and Bluffing, Predictive Bid). Actions affect customers as resource engines, artifacts, tracks and other components; die icon effects can modify outcomes (Die Icon Resolution). The randomly chosen deity goals set varied victory conditions, and fulfilling two of them ends the game (Sudden Death Ending).
What Makes It Special
Sibille blends Deduction with Betting-and-Bluffing and adds Track Movement and Die Icon Resolution for tactical depth. Designers Luca Grippo and Paolo Raciti use a tarot motif and predictive bidding as central pillars. The variable set of four deity goals increases replayability.

Setting & atmosphere
