Believe in Me! (Please) is a satirical strategy game in which 2-4 players embody mischievous, self-proclaimed gods vying for the faith of gullible mortals. Through cunning, persuasion, and divine theatrics, you claim natural phenomena as your miracles to grow your cult and define your godly form by assembling a unique combination of chaotic, serene, or wrathful body parts. Beware of meddlesome heretics, inquisitors, and rival gods, who will stop at nothing to undermine your holy reputation! With its mix of card-driven mechanisms, worker placement, and over-the-top humor, Believe in Me! (Please) is a battle of wits, strategy, and divine improvisation to see whose cult becomes the world's ultimate religion. Hallelujah! —description from the publisher
