About the game
What you do in a play session
During the game, you and your opponent will play cards from your own deck to different Locations. These cards are super versatile: they can activate powerful effects, give you more cards to boost your deck, attract Devotees, convert new followers, and, of course, increase your influence in the Locations. The main goal is to accumulate as much Support as possible. After six intense rounds, the player with the most Support will be crowned the Pariah and have the honor of starting a new society. Do you have what it takes to lead the way?
