For the Gods! (Limited Edition + 3D Trireme Player Dashboards)

For the Gods! (Limited Edition + 3D Trireme Player Dashboards): an area-majority game inspired by Greek mythology

This bundle combines the game For the Gods!, by Trevor Benjamin, Brett J. Gilbert, and David Thompson, published by Mighty Boards, with its premium accessories: the Trireme Player Dashboards and a full set of God Rocks for each player. In For the Gods!, 2 to 4 players take on the role of builders sailing an archipelago inspired by ancient Greece, aiming to raise temples on the islands to win the favor of the gods and earn the most Glory. The game's originality lies in combining an area-majority mechanic - the last player to place a stone on a temple takes control of it - with a bag-building system where drawn stones activate one of the 12 available divine powers.

Setup and gameplay with the Trireme Player Dashboards

Setup involves placing the double-layered archipelago map, giving each player a bag, a ship, a thick cardboard Trireme player screen, and a player aid, then arranging the temple stones and the tiles representing the 12 gods around the board. The player screens, sculpted in the shape of a trireme, feature slots that hold stones in place during play, while the set of 12 God Rocks given to each player acts as a visual reminder of the divine powers without needing to check the rulebook. Players then move their ship to found or raise temples, while dealing with Krakens disrupting certain areas of the archipelago.

Victory conditions of For the Gods!

The game ends when the supply of temple stones runs out or a set number of temples have been completed, depending on the chosen setup. Controlling each temple - achieved by placing the final stone - earns Glory tokens, available in 3 finishes (gold, silver, bronze). The player with the most Glory at the final count wins the game.
