Scales of Fate

Two players secretly influence nine demigods as they vie for favor in a mythic pantheon. Each turn players send demigods on quests, trigger conflicts, and manipulate positions on a shared board to advance or hinder rivals. Each player secretly pledges allegiance to two demigods; scoring depends on those demigods’ relative positions or proximity. Players may share allegiances, so deduction and misdirection matter: after three rounds, each player can guess the opponent’s chosen demigods to score bonus points. The game blends area control, hand management of action cards, and deduction in a compact head-to-head duel.
