Who will be the first to cross Mount Olympus?

HOW TO PLAY

Each player is provided 12 Gods of Olympus cards, light and dark.

The gods and goddesses have individualized health points, movements, attacks and special abilities that match their characteristics, to deeply tie theme in with mechanics.

The game is played on a 9x9 diagonal board. The first space on both sides are the "gates" spaces. It will be your goal to either eliminate all the other player's characters, or move any of your characters onto your opponent's gate space.

On your first turn, select a character to "summon" onto your gates space. On subsequent turns, you will choose to move, attack, or bring additional characters into play.

All of the cards are balanced so that they are equal in power. Zeus has twice as much health as Hermes, Hermes has far more mobility and provides a "Winged Sandals" ability that increases the movement of other pieces. Athena has even less health, but a powerful "Aegis Shield" ability protects other pieces. All characters will be equally important to achieving your victory.

Expansions will add deck building and asymmetric gameplay options.

Try playing chess with each of the 12 Greek Gods as your pieces.
