How it plays

Gain the most Devotion by controlling monuments, winning conflicts, and using your god’s powers. On your turn, take one or two actions—move figures, summon units, gain followers, or unlock powers—while action tracks periodically trigger events and battles resolved through secretly chosen cards and follower bids. After the final event, the surviving god with the most Devotion wins.
