Glorantha: The Gods War - Core Game (French Version)

French Version (Please note all photos are from the English version)

The Gods War

Designed by Sandy Petersen and set in the mythic world of Glorantha, The Gods War is a fast moving multiplayer strategy game set in a universe on the brink of disaster.  In The Gods War, you take the part of powerful elemental forces, battling to determine the fate of the cosmos.  The Gods War was in development for more than three years and is tightly balanced.  It is highly asymmetric featuring wildly different factions.  Fight over territory, perform miracles, and command monsters and gods.  Storm the gates of heaven itself or watch the world collapse into the Chaos Rift.

Unique Asymmetric Gameplay

The tightly-balanced empires play extremely differently. Each seeks to complete its own heroquests while simultaneously establishing itself in the world and gathering runes of power. One of its many unusual facets is that when constructing buildings, you must choose whether you wish breadth: many, but inexpensive, buildings; or if you seek depth: fewer, but more powerful buildings. The former provides more Victory points, the latter more Power which you can use to summon your faction’s units, to move, to fight, and to place more buildings. Each empire also has a plethora of unique abilities and no two empires share a single unit type - every single player will have his or her unique miniatures that operate differently than other players!

The core game. Contains 36 huge plastic figures in four empire colors, with everything needed for 3-4 players.

The Gods War Expansions

The Empires Expansion

Add four new empires to your game of The Gods War, including Earth, Moon, Sea, and the Invisible God.  They are just as bizarre and asymmetrical as those in the original core game.  You can mix and match the core game's empires with these new ones, and even expand your game up to eight players at a time!  Also includes a new 6-8 player map, and all needed tokens and figures.

Elder Races Expansion

Add twelve amazing Elder Races to your game of The Gods War.  These can be recruited via diplomacy and then add their weird abilities and even mythic Gifts to your empire.  Includes the Dragonewts, Dwarfs, Vadeli Raiders, Elves, Giants, Waertagi Dragonships, Ducks, Boggles, Maidstone Archers, Slarge reptile folk, Luathan Demigods, and the Scorpion Folk, all with figures, loyalty cards and everything needed.

The Monsters Expansion

There are three Monsters expansions for The Gods War.  Each adds three enormous, frightening monsters: the Dragons, Chaos Monsters, and Cosmic Monsters.  All three types change the game in dramatic ways, representing powerful cosmic forces of the universe!
