About the 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
