Pantheons (1984)

A dice and card game based on the RUNEQUEST runes. Designed for 3-10 players, PANTHEONS gets better the more people that play. Appropriate for the entire family, ages 10 and up. Six specialty dice 163 card deck Scoresheets Rulebook Scenario folder and charts The dice and cards show 32 different RUNEQUEST runes which regulate play. Each player represents a Deity. Each player has unique play abilities and victory conditions. The object is to outplay your competitor Gods and reach your maximum Attribute points – thereby ruling the Gloranthan PANTHEON! There are 5 different Attributes. You begin with one Minor God and may acquire more – Minor Gods allow you to take Attribute Points from the other Deities. Every turn, each player rolls the dice and draws/plays cards to earn more Points. Cards can be saved to advance questing Heroes to Minor God status or used against your opponents to take Points. Playing time is 1 - 4 hours depending on how many players you have. 3-4 players takes 1-1.5 hours [less for experienced players], while 10 players is more of a party atmosphere that can go for up to 4 hours [again-usually much less for experienced players]. The original version of this game was produced in 1984 under License / Permission from Greg Stafford and the CHAOSIUM. Less than 300 were ever printed. Over 250 copies were sold. I have an archive copy – the last one. Currently, artwork is being prepared for a 25th Anniversary Limited Edition printing.
