About the game
The Gods have taken an interest in your building endeavours! This opens up new opportunities for the pious and crafty - but also comes with new rules to keep your eye on. For when building is over, your heart will be weighed and the Gods will judge the balance between its purity and taint. A new board where you can test your heart, being pure or tainted. Tainted spaces will give benefits during the game, but if you don't balance them with pure action spaces, you will get negative points. Moreover there is a new game sheet for drawing your obelisk.
