About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already a Bomarzo fan and feel like you need a bit more spice to elevate your-struggle for supremacy, the Worship expansion is exactly what you need! This expansion introduces a layer of divinity and devotion that can completely shift the game's momentum. It centers around a new deck of Worship cards, each representing a different deity that players can follow.

Here is how it plays out: during your turn, you can draw cards from the Worship deck, even spending extra resources to dig deeper for the perfect-fit divinity. However, there's a catch—you can only keep one card, forcing you to make tough decisions about which path to pursue. These cards act as hidden objectives; if you manage to win the specific category tied to your deity, you score big points. But be careful! If you hold onto a deity and fail to secure that category, you'll actually lose points at the end of the game. It adds a delicious layer of risk management and hidden agendas to the experience, making every turn feel a bit more tense and rewarding for those who love playing the long game.
