Victory Point Games has launched their latest Kickstarter and this time it’s an expandable card game for two to four players. In Twilight of the Gods, players will represent dueling factions of deities as each looks to be the last standing while the Roman Empire begins to crumble. The project is nearly funded just a few hours in and you can pledge your support through January 26th.
You can reserve a copy of Twilight of the Gods at the $35 pledge level.
From VPG:
It is the middle of the 5th century AD, and the gods are dying. In parallel to the unrest rotting the foundations of the Roman Empire, pantheons of deities across the globe see their temples profaned and their followers lament. Belief ebbs from the world….
The once-mighty gods, now desperately scheming to collect remaining scraps of faith, seek a way to endure the coming Dark Age – an inevitable future pressing through time with the weight of a singularity – and every god must meet these final tests or perish forever to legend.
In Twilight of the Gods, players take turns battling using a full, modifiable, 50-card deck. Each turn, you draw two cards, acquire resources from other players, and use them to summon Creatures, Schemes, Fortifications, and Intrigues because “smite makes right.” Your deck is also your “life points,” and the last player with cards in their deck wins. Four carefully balanced (for 2-player play), pre-constructed decks are included to help you get started. As more expansion cards are released, these decks become increasingly customizable.
Twilight of the Gods is an “expandable” card game universe; you will know what cards you are getting and everyone has access to the same cards. It is not “collectible!” Beyond the 200+ cards in Twilight of the Gods: Age of Revelation, already planned-and-designed boxed expansions will include another 50 cards each. Other large expansions like this one will introduce a new Age with 200 more cards.
