2-6 players, 10 minutes Ages 8+
What Is In The Box
- 1 Rule Sheet (You are reading it)
- 6 Cardboard Pantheon Tokens
- 10 Cards (1 stage, 9 audience)
Setup
Place the "Stage" card in the middle of the table, then shuffle and place the other 9 cards facedown in a 3x3 grid next to the stage.
Place the six (6) Pantheon tokens on the table facedown.
Each player picks a token and keeps their selection secret. This token shows the logo on the cards you are trying to get to the front center section.
Play
On your turn:
- Peek at one card, keeping it hidden from other players.
- Flip one card and activate its power. You may flip any facedown card.
Note: if you are flipping the last facedown card, do not activate its ability.
End of Game
The game ends when all cards are faceup.
Winning
The player who has the token that matches the logo on the card that is in the "front and center" section is the winner. If no player matches the card in that space, then the player(s) with tokens matching the cards in the front row win. If no players are in the front row, nobody wins.
