About the game
Relics of Olympus is mini expansion for the Omen: A Reign of War game. There are 6 different Relics: FORGE OF HEPHAESTUS - When a Soldier enter this city on your side, it gains 1 additional strength until the end of your turn. HELM OF HERMES - When you play a Soldier into this city from your hand, you may draw 1 card. If you do, choose and discard 1 card from your hand. APHRODITE'S ROSE - During your Portent step, when you reveal the top card of the deck for an Oracle's ability in this city, if an Oracle is not revealed, you may reveal 1 additional card. DEMETER'S SCYTHE - When you play a Unit into this city from your hand, you may discard 1 card from you hand. If you do, reduce that Unit's cost by 1. APOLLO'S CREED - If an ability of an opposing player's Unit would cause a Soldier in this city to be discarded, you may instead discard a Soldier from your hand of the same name. DIONYSUS' FLASK - When a Soldier enters this city, of either side, ignore its ability. During either player's Portent step, Oracle abilities in this city are not used. Relics begin play to the side of the play area. Once per Feat Step, if the player would achieve a Feat, instead of flipping that Feat face down, he may instead gain a Relic. He selects a Relic from the side of the play area and places it face up on his side of any City. There may only be 1 Relic per City. If a player chooses to place a Relic he has just gained in a City that already has a Relic in it, the original Relic is moved to the side of the play area, even if the Relic was on the opposing player's side of the City. Each Relic is worth 1 point to the player at the end of the game.
