“Players assume the roles of certain lesser Demigods. Each demigod begins with a small band of worshipers. Gain power by building temples and helping your population grow. Crush your enemy’s populations with acts of god and the armies of the faithful. The last remaining immortal is the one true Deity. Objective: Destroy all of your opponent armies, populations, and temples.”

The game is played on a 10x10 or 12x12 hex map filled with terrain counters placed by random draw at the start of each game. A deck of Miracle Cards provides the players with the ability to either benefit their own forces or harm enemy forces. The number of Miracle Cards a player receives each turn depends on the number of temples controlled by the player.
