How to play
How to play
Trap, favor, power
Hide a trap
Before the first move you hide a trap on the board. Only you know where it is.
Gather favor
Every move and every capture fills up your favor with the gods.
Use a power instead of moving
Spend your favor on one of your god’s three powers.
Checkmate decides
The king is immune to every power. In the end, checkmate always decides.
