Each player represents a pagan pantheon (Egyptian, Babylonian, Greek, Norse, or Celtic) vying for power. The pantheon roll dice (power dice) to establish combinations that range from adding/losing dice, adding/losing cards, to automatic victory (5 of a kind rolled). Each pantheon has a set of cards that represent different deities and grant special powers/abilities (which affect the potential combinations, drawing cards, looking at opponent's cards, etc.).
