About the game
What you do in a play session
In Meduris: Der Ruf der Götter, you and your friends become followers of the gods, establishing a new home at the base of the mystical Mount Meduris. The objective is clear: win divine favor through strategic actions and a touch of luck. To achieve this, you'll need to manage your workers wisely, sending them to gather valuable resources like runes and building materials. With these resources in hand, the task is to erect imposing huts and temples, expanding your settlement. But beware, with each new construction, the cost increases, demanding careful financial planning. A masterstroke might be pleasing the druid with offerings, securing bonuses that ease your burden. Keep an eye on what your opponents are doing: who is securing the best building spots? Who is accumulating the most coveted runes? Victory doesn't go to those who just build, but to those who build intelligently, anticipating the final round of offerings and ensuring they have the necessary materials for ultimate glory. Meduris combines the tension of worker placement with the unpredictability of dice rolling, all wrapped in a fantasy and mythology theme that will transport you to a world of gods and druids.
