About this game

In Deities, players place a village token on the game board and gain resources through the unique system in which finding the nearest token in a straight line showing the same resource and activating all tokens in the line. Then tokens will be flipped so you have to consider not only the resources you will get, but also whether you will hand over the placement in favor of the opponent. Place the village token in the right place! Earn necessary resources to build buildings and expand your influence. Use follower tiles and development tiles to win with your own strategies. At the end of the game, the player who has the most points wins and will earn the throne of the best god. —description from publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
