About the game
What you do in a play session
But don't think it's just about showing up and building! Theurgy blends that classic area control feel with a dash of 'take that' against your rivals. To succeed, you'll need to master hand management, make smart choices during open drafting, and leverage your deity's unique powers to your advantage. Each turn presents a crucial decision: move your acolytes and followers (perhaps converting some heathens or fighting monsters along the way), spread your cultural influence into new settlements, perform miracles with cards or summon powerful creatures, or even test the locals' faith in a random event to see which god they turn to.
With a modular board that ensures replayability and game-changing god powers, Theurgy challenges you to think strategically, anticipate opponents' moves, and be creative to rise from the ashes and become the favorite of the faithful. Prepare for a divine battle where cunning and faith go hand in hand!
