PRECOGNITION
Seeing into the future of gaming?
Designer: Julien Prothière | Publisher: Ludonaute
It’s pretty brave to lead a rulebook by explaining the card system the game is introducing. That’s precisely what Precognition does, before you even get to the component list or story blurb. It suggests publisher Ludonaute will be supporting it with more titles. So, I guess we should also begin with the aforementioned ‘Dual Select System’.
In Precognition, each player has a slightly asymmetric 24-card deck. It is split into three seasons of roughly equal numbers, each of which is shuffled individually to make a single phased draw deck. You draw the top two cards from your deck and put them face up in front of the player to your right. Then you draw two more cards for yourself, adding your two Choice cards (which you always keep) to your hand.
