Enact the religious struggles ripped from today's headlines with Moses, Jesus, and others, or step back in time to don the mantle of the Norse ruler Odin, the Roman god Mars, the Celtic warrior Morrigan, or Kali the Hindu god. Wiccans can battle Scientologists and ancient Mayan gods for control over the world... the only limit is your imagination. Unleash floods and plagues on each others' followers, while protecting your own flock. The god with the best strategy, skill, and luck shall rule the world....
Playing Gods is easy to learn. The board is a simplified map of the Earth, with five continents each containing four regions. Colored chips representing sects (groups of followers) are placed on those regions.
Circling the globe is an outer ring where the gods move around the board, gathering power through Wrath and Conversion cards. Wrath cards (also called "kill cards") are used to bring down Acts of Gods and natural disasters, while the Conversion cards are used to convert other gods' followers to your beliefs. The game ends when one god has either killed or converted all other gods' sects, or has spread followers to occupy more than half the world!
