Altar of the Gods társasjáték

Angol leírás

Along time ago, at an era where the humans were still primitive, the Gods were the only ones dominating the world. The arrogance of the Gods however, and their continuing clashes led to their decline and almost their extinction. The last few who remained, were hidden in oblivion waiting to return more powerful than ever.

In the subsequent years, humankind was thirsty for knowledge and domination. This triggered the awakening of the gods. As exchange, the gods have demanded everlasting faith and obedience so they could fully regain their powers and fulfill their plans. Soon, epic battles among gods and their loyal followers spread throughout the world and the humankind fell into chaos.

The age of the gods has returned more wicked than ever before. The gods along with their devoted divergent followers are now fighting for supremacy… Who will be the last God standing to rule all humanity? Will this God bring Light, Love, War, Fear or everlasting Darkness? The fate of the World is in your hands!
