Deities is a strategic board game where you assume the role of a Deity. You, along with rival Deities, will vie for control over a brand new world. Terraform the landscape, populate the world with your followers and imbue them with the power to destroy your rivals. Deities relies on seven elements that dictate gameplay. What actions you take are heavily influenced by these elements. During play your goal is to fill the game board with terrain tiles and creatures that match the elements of your Deities. Actions are taken by drawing and utilizing energy cards that allow you to shape the game board as well as use the powers of your Deities. Once all 25 spaces on the game board are filled with terrain tiles the current round is played out and the game finishes with a scoring phase. The player who shapes the world into matching their Deities the most is the winner. —description from the publisher
