Game Flow

Flip a coin to determine who plays first. The game is played in Rounds, each composed of 3 Phases:

1. Roll Phase

1. At the beginning of each round, you and your opponent alternate between who rolls the dice.
2. You can roll up to 3 times. You can choose which dice you want to keep and which you want to re-roll between rolling turns.

2. God Favor Phase

Players can choose one God Favor to invoke, then reveal to each other their choice. God Favors are invoked in order of priority. God Favors with the same Priority are paid and applied according to the players' order. When a God Favor is invoked, its offering is presented, and its effect is granted. Most God Favors are invoked after both players choose them and before the Resolution phase.

Exception: if it is specifically stated in their effect description, they are invoked after the Resolution phase. If a player doesn't have enough God Favor tokens for the offering when the God Favor they chose is invoked, its effects are not granted.

3. Resolution Phase

The dice rolled by both players are resolved against each other: damage is dealt or blocked, and tokens are gained or stolen. Rounds are played until one player reduces the Health of the other to 0.

1. Each God Favor die face earns 1 God Favor token.
2. Melee Attack and Ranged Attack dice are resolved and their unblocked damage applied. The player who rolled first this round also attacks first.
3. Each Influence die face steals 1 God Favor token from the opponent.

If no player has reached 0 HP, they switch up their order (second becomes first) and another Round is played.

Basic Effects on Dice

• Melee Attack — Deal 1 damage.
• Melee Defense — Block 1 Melee Attack.
• Ranged Attack — Deal 1 damage.
• Ranged Defence — Block 1 Ranged Attack.
• Influence — Steal 1 God Favor token from the opponent.

God Favor

Dice faces with a golden trim give you God Favor tokens during the Resolution Phase.

You can also roll Influence to steal God Favor tokens from the opponent during the Resolution Phase.

During the God Favor phase, Players can choose a God Favor. Then, in order of Priority, Players offer God Favor tokens to invoke a God Favor and apply its effect.

Anatomy of a God Favor card (example: Thor's Strike)

• Effect description: Deal damage to the opponent, after the resolution phase.
• Priority order: Priority 6.
• Costs in tokens / Effects per cost:
  • 4 tokens: -2 HP
  • 8 tokens: -5 HP
  • 12 tokens: -8 HP
