About the game
Get ready for a divine journey with Hieron, a cooperative game where you and your friends must win the favor of the 12 Gods of Olympus! Each deity has their own likes and dislikes, accepting specific offerings at their temples. To please them, you'll need to play offering cards that match in number or type with the last card played in each temple. But beware, communication is super limited, so figuring out what your teammates need can be a real puzzle! If things get tough, heroes might appear to lend a hand and even change some game rules. The objective is clear: complete all 12 divine temples before it's too late. If the team succeeds, victory is for everyone. If they fail, well... everyone loses together. Hieron is pure team strategy, hand management, and that delightful tension of not being able to say everything you're thinking. Perfect for those who enjoy a collaborative challenge where every move counts and harmony with the gods is the key to success. With great art and a mechanic that tests your synergy, Hieron promises to be a memorable experience for groups looking for a card game with a mythology theme and lots of interaction.
