Description

In Theomachy: The Warrior Gods, you take on the role of a powerful deity, leading a group of devoted followers into battle against other gods. Your goal is simple: annihilate your foes' believers and seize absolute power. To achieve this, you'll use a combination of bluffing, psychology, and tactics, similar to those used in high-stakes poker games. You'll draft cards into your personal deck, building your might and staking the souls of your followers against your opponents. With four pantheons to choose from, including Celtic, Norse, Slavonic, and Lovecraft's Great Old Ones, you'll have access to a range of powerful miracles, spells, and artifacts. The game is quick to play, typically lasting between 30 to 60 minutes, and is suitable for 2 to 4 players. As you face off against other gods, you'll need to make tough decisions and use your god's power to create miracles and activate myth cards, all in the pursuit of victory and absolute power.
