About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a divine competition in Divinity Derby! Zeus has summoned gods and celestial beings for a little get-together on Mount Olympus, which quickly turns into an exciting race. Each player takes on the role of a deity with unique powers, betting on flying creatures vying for glory. The real twist here is card management: you share a deck with your table neighbors, meaning your moves and theirs are intertwined. You'll need a keen eye to guess others' intentions and use the shared knowledge to your advantage. The game combines betting, bluffing, and track movement in a very accessible way, with vibrant art and components that add a special touch. With easy-to-learn rules but strategic depth for those who enjoy planning, Divinity Derby is a great choice for family gatherings or game nights with friends, whether they're seasoned gamers or newcomers. Fun is guaranteed as you try to decipher your neighboring gods' plans and lead your flying creature to victory, all under Zeus's watchful eye. It's a celestial race where cunning is as valuable as power!
