Theomachy: The Ancients

When gods fight, human blood flows. Take the role of a high god and lead one of four pantheons—Greek, Babylonian, Egyptian, or Lovecraftian—against rival deities. Draft cards to build a personal deck, then stake followers in poker-style battles using bluffs, calls, raises, and folds. A shared Constellation forms a Texas Hold’em-style board that powers miracles, spells, heroes, temples, and artifacts. Choose whether to risk more worshipers for victory or withdraw to limit losses, while mythic powers and curses reduce opposing believers. The game typically takes less than 45 minutes.
