About Kaya's Prophecy
Kaya's Prophecy blends card‑based deck building with village management. As the village leader you open booster packs, collect resource and gathering cards, and construct buildings while keeping your god appeased. Success hinges on strategic card use, resource allocation, and timely offerings.
The game is a single‑player experience for Windows, featuring Steam achievements, cloud saves, and family sharing. Players must constantly adapt to divine moods, wilderness threats, and evolving technologies to guide their settlement toward prosperity.
01 / THE GUIDE
Gathering Resources
Booster packs provide a variety of resource and gathering cards that form the base of your village’s economy. Selecting cards that produce multiple resources can accelerate early construction and support larger projects later on.
Strategic deployment of these cards determines how efficiently you collect and convert resources. By arranging cards to complement each other's outputs, you create loops that sustain growth without excessive waste.
- Test different card combos to discover which produce the highest net resource gain.
- Prioritize cards that generate more than one resource type for flexible planning.
02 / THE GUIDE
Divine Favor and Fury
Your god requires food offerings; providing enough keeps him satisfied and grants boons that boost village performance. Favor also unlocks new technologies, expanding the range of materials and structures you can craft.
If offerings fall short, the god may unleash lightning, tornadoes, or harm followers. Managing the frequency and size of offerings therefore becomes a core strategic concern.
- Maintain a modest food surplus to cover unexpected offering demands.
- Observe the god’s reactions after each offering to gauge the needed frequency.

03 / THE GUIDE
Venturing into the Unknown
Expeditions let you explore wilderness areas to discover new resources, but the terrain is populated by dangerous wildlife. Successful trips rely on a deck that can both gather and defend.
Balancing risk and reward is essential; a well‑chosen mix of combat and utility cards can mitigate threats while maximizing the haul of valuable resources.
- Include defensive cards in expedition decks to handle unpredictable wildlife.
- Adjust your deck after each expedition to target the resources you most need.
04 / THE GUIDE
Deck‑Building Strategy
Cards synergize to create decks that support resource collection, combat, and village upgrades. Combining hard‑earned resources lets you craft new materials, tools, and structures, shaping the settlement’s evolution.
Continuous refinement of your deck influences every aspect of play, from gathering efficiency to surviving divine wrath. Regularly reviewing and adjusting your card pool is key to long‑term success.
- Focus on cards whose effects reinforce each other for stronger combos.
- Re‑evaluate your deck after each major event to incorporate new discoveries.
05 / THE GUIDE
Adapt and Overcome
The game demands constant adaptation to unexpected challenges such as divine fury, wildlife attacks, or sudden resource shortages. Flexible planning helps keep construction on track and followers safe.
Only leaders who can pivot strategies and make tough decisions see their villages thrive, making adaptation a central skill throughout the experience.
- Keep a backup plan for resource shortages to avoid stalled construction.
- Monitor divine mood and wildlife activity to anticipate needed adjustments.
