Here’s an example of an Omen phase in a four-player game.

1. The Alchemist plays Weeping Angel, a Minor Omen. Defeating it requires a Ceramic Hand Grenade or a Scarab Brooch. The Alchemist has a Ceramic Hand Grenade in their hand, so they place it faceup on the table.

2. The Soldier has the Scarab Brooch in their hand. They play it by placing it faceup on the table.

3. The Occultist has a Ceramic Hand Grenade in their hand, so they place it faceup on the table.

4. The Merchant has none of the cards required.

5. Now players decide which Items to use to defeat the Omen.

6. The Alchemist could use the Ceramic Hand Grenade, but they would have to discard it after doing so because it has the discard symbol. The same is true for the Occultist who also has a Ceramic Hand Grenade.

7. The players decide to use the Soldier’s Scarab Brooch to defeat the Omen because it does not have to be discarded after use. The Scarab Brooch stays in front of the Soldier.

8. Because the players defeated the Omen, the Alchemist gets the reward listed on the Weeping Angel card.

Now the player to your left takes their turn. Continue taking turns until the last Major Omen card is played OR an explorer has no Item cards left in their hand or revealed in front of them at the end of a turn when a Major Omen has been played. Then the game ends!
