Abstract

The Prophesy Coins Game is a unique fortune telling game consisting of eight numbered Prophesy Coins that are obtained randomly from a unique Prophesy Coins Container/Dispenser and used as positional and rotational identifiers to place and orient eight randomly selected tarot cards, from a standard 78 card tarot deck, into eight prognosticative data location sites on a game board. A psychic reading is formulated from the context of each of the eight selected tarot cards relating their meaning and orientation with their positional game-board-data inscriptions with reference to the query.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . The Prophesy Coins Game is a unique fortune-telling game that consists of a standard 78 card tarot deck, a game board having eight specific location sites numbered “1” to “8”, each with a corresponding prognosticative inscription, and eight two-sided Prophesy Coins whereby each coin is inscribed with a number from “1” to “8” non repeating and whose surfaces are labeled “Normal” on one side and “Reverse” on the other side, wherein the Querent first selects a tarot card at random from the tarot deck, then obtains an Prophesy Coin from the Prophesy Coin Dispenser/Container which then signifies the numbered location on the game board into which the tarot card is placed and rotated either “right side-up” if the coin is oriented with the “Normal” side up, or placed upside-down if the coin is dispensed with the “Reverse” side up, wherein the querent repeats this procedure seven more times until all eight location sites on the game board are filled with tarot cards, at which time the Reader now formulates a statistically generated 1 in 7.25×10 12  psychic reading from the context of each of the eight selected tarot cards relating their meaning and orientation with their positional game-board-data inscriptions in reference to the query. 
   
   
       2 . The eight Prophesy Coins, as described in  claim 1 , have a numerical identifier printed on them, ranging from the number “1” to the number “8” non repeating, associating one number per coin, while each coin has one side labeled “Normal” and the opposite side labeled “Reverse”, whereby functioning as a random chance generator designating the orientation and location sites on the game board for the eight selected tarot cards without the decision or influence of either the Querent or the Reader. 
   
   
       3 . The game board, as described in  claim 1 , has eight outlined card locations numbered “1” through “8”, which include the following specific prognosticative inscriptions:
 Location “1” signifies the “Query” and subject matter to be analyzed and discussed;   Location “2” signifies the “Past Circumstances” concerning the query;   Location “3” signifies the “Present Influences” as they apply to the query;   Location “4” signifies the “Obstacles to Overcome” associated with the query;   Location “5” signifies the “Method to be Used” to overcome the obstacles;   Location “6” signifies the “Time Frame” encompassing the situation;   Location “7” signifies any “Fate Interventons” controlling the situation;   Location “8” signifies the “Future Outcome” and the best possible scenario that can be obtained with regards to the query;   
   
   
       4 . The Prophesy Coin Dispenser/Container, as described in  claim 1 , is a container having an indented wine-bottle false-type bottom protruding into said container's inner chamber at one end, and a hopper chute narrowing into a long flat rectangular nozzle with an opening the width of a single Prophesy Coin at the other end, such that of the eight Prophesy Coins contained within only one coin at a time can fit and be dispensed laterally from said nozzle opening, whereas said container functions as a random coin mixer when shaken by the Player and when tilted with the nozzle side down will dispense only one of the eight coins at a time laterally with either the coin's “Normal” side up or its “Reverse” side up. 
   
   
       5 . A unique reading, as described in  claim 1 , can be statistically calculated from a tarot deck of 78 cards of which a permutation of 8 cards are randomly selected and oriented one of two ways, either right side up or upside down, and randomly placed into 8 different prognosticative site locations on a game board, whereby yielding a probability of 1 in 7.25×10 12  chance that the same outcome or event would repeat itself, which can be mathematically calculated by:
