The Steps of the Prophet

In the first half of The Steps of the Prophet, two players use a standard 52 card pack to lovingly build a nation state, progressively adding more details about its hierarchy, industries and values. In the second half of the game, they tear it apart.

The Steps of the Prophet is a game about creation and destruction, cooperation and belligerence, identity and cultural assimilation.

To play The Steps of the Prophet, all you need to do is find a pack of cards, a pen and some paper, and to download the PDF file from this page. If you like it and have the means, please consider throwing a few £ my way!
