About the game
This expansion was an exclusive crowdfunding project in Poland and Germany, inspired by the success of Theomachy: The Ancients and Theomachy: The Warrior Gods, re-implementations of the original Teomachia game, released in coopeartion with Petersen Games. It brings gods from Cthulhu Mythos (Great Old Ones, Outer Gods and the Nightmares) as well as Aztec and Egyptian deities to the world of the war of mythological gods, without changing the main concept of a deck-building game with a drafting and bidding mechanism. It consists of several mini-expansions (available only in this bundle, not separately): Heroes - one extra Hero card for each pantheon Priests and Prophets - one extra Special Prophet or two extra Special Priests with unique abilities for each pantheon (wooden discs with stickers and reference cards) Reward deck - new bonuses for the winner of a round (instead of a regular one) Miracle tokens - acrylic crystals to replace the regular cardboard tokens New Pantheons available: Aztec (Quetzalcoatl, Nanahuatl, Coatlicue) Egyptian (Anubis, Bast, Maat) Great Old Ones (Cthulhu, Hastur, Ithaqua) Outer Gods (Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Yog-Sothoth) Nightmares (Chaugnar Faugn, Ghatanothoa, Tsathouggua) The Polish edition also includes a re-printed rulebook for the base-game and 4 Last Stand cards, originally available in the German and English editions of the base game.
