Description

In Hera and Zeus, you'll take on the role of one of two opposing gods from Greek mythology, each determined to destroy the other over a kidnapped favorite mortal. This 30-minute game for two players is easy to learn, with simple rules that quickly give way to deep strategy. Players lay out cards in opposite matrices, with the leading edges of the columns holding the key to attack and defense. As you play, you'll need to manage your hand and action points carefully, using your cards to attack, draw new cards, or play special actions. But beware - cards are played facedown, adding an element of bluff and doubt to the game. To win, you'll need to reduce your opponent to zero columns, capture their hostage card, or outmaneuver them to the point where they can't use all their actions. With its unique blend of mythology and strategy, Hera and Zeus is a thrilling game that's sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
