The Omen Phase

1. Play an Omen card from your hand by placing it faceup on the table and reading it aloud. You must play any Minor Omen cards you have before you play any Major Omen cards.

2. If you have any Items that are needed to defeat the Omen, announce you are using them by placing them faceup in front of you, or by announcing that you already have them in front of you. Note, if you accidentally reveal an Item card that you cannot use, you must discard it.

3. The player to your left may now play an Item card in the same way, and so on.

4. Any Items that are played stay where they are unless the card says to do otherwise.

5. If you have the Items needed and defeat the Omen, you receive any reward listed on the card. If you do not defeat the Omen, you must take the penalty listed on the card.

6. Discard the Omen card unless it is a Hint card.

If you defeat a Minor Omen with a Hint on your turn, you may choose either of the two Curses that card names and place that Minor Omen card facedown next to that Curse.

If players fail to defeat a Major Omen with a Hint, AND the Traitor has been revealed, the Traitor may place that Major Omen facedown next to any Curse. If the Traitor has not been revealed, discard the Major Omen.
