Description

Create your own deity; manage divine resources like domains, epithets, and mortal champions; and navigate written prompts with a tarot deck. As your story unfolds, embrace the enigmatic world beyond worship—will you be merciful or vengeful, benevolent or cruel?

Deify is a tarot-driven solo storytelling game. Follow the long, strange life of a god. You are not mortal, per se, but you will be born. You will burst into being from an idea, from need, from the chaos of the ether. And you will grow. You’ll mature, rise to power. You’ll understand yourself, your abilities, and your worshippers. And you will decline. You’ll face limitations: waning followers, conflict with other deities, a changing world. Finally, you’ll die – fade away, quietly disappear.

Tarot draws tell your story. Major Arcana represent large events: the expansion of your Domain, Epithets, or Attributes. Minor Arcana fill in small, everyday experiences, yours and those of your worshippers. With each cycle of one Major Arcana and three Minor, your life moves forward. Four of the Major Arcana provide the game’s framework – the Fool starts your journey, The Chariot begins your prime, The Tower your decline, and The Wheel your death. What happens between is up to the cards you draw, the decisions you make, and your imagination.

Deify won the 2025 CRIT Award for Best Solo TTRPG. Game is hardbound with award-winning cover art and gold foil accents. Its interior is full-color and includes complete rules for a satisfying story arc, prompts for all 78 tarot cards, player sheets, and evocative imagery by Maia Trewartha. Gameplay requires a Rider Waite (or Rider Waite-style) tarot deck and way to record your story.
