The Gods

Let me introduce you to the gods. They’re pretty important in the game. You might be wondering, what do they do? Well, I’ll tell you. Each god has their own special powers that can really shake things up. It’s like having a secret weapon.

Now, let’s talk about the order in which the gods come into play. There are four phases in the game, and each god has their moment to shine.

First, we have the Phase I gods. These guys are the beginners, just starting out on their divine journey. They may not have the power of the more experienced gods, but they’re still pretty cool.

Next up, we have the Phase II gods. These are the intermediate level gods, gaining strength and wisdom as they progress. They can really make an impact on the game with their unique abilities.

Moving on, we have the Phase III gods. These are the advanced players, with a deep understanding of the game and its strategies. They have some serious tricks up their sleeves that can turn the tide of any match.

Finally, we have the Phase IV gods. These are the ultimate gods, the masters of the game. They have reached the pinnacle of power and can completely change the game with their incredible abilities.

So, there you have it. The gods of the game, each with their own special powers and abilities. It’s up to you to choose which god to play as and harness their divine power. Good luck and may the gods be with you!

Shadipinyi

God of Drunks (I)

Hey there, let me introduce you to the mighty god Shadipinyi! If Shadipinyi is in the game, I’ll place his plaque right at the front of the queue, even before the first player. This plaque works just like the player plaques and collects cattle during the generous kings’ phase.

If you’re the one who adores Shadipinyi, you’re in for a treat! You get not only your own cattle but also all the cattle placed on this special plaque. That means you’ll be receiving about double the amount of cattle compared to other players. Now that’s something to celebrate!

The Mighty Elegua

The God Who Opens Doors

In every cycle of abundance and scarcity, I, the devoted follower of Elegua, have the extraordinary privilege of offering up to three noble cattle as a tribute to receive his benevolent blessings. The beauty of it all is that I don’t have to deplete my own wealth to make these offerings; instead, I may draw from the communal treasure trove.

Should my heart desire to make a grander gesture of devotion by pledging even more cattle, rest assured that I would need to contribute from my personal hoard.

Dziva – The Ever-Shifting God

Part II: A Change of Heart

Hey there! Let’s talk about Dziva, the incredibly interesting God with a unique power to change her mind. It’s fascinating how she can influence the prices of all technology cards during a player’s turn, don’t you think?

So, imagine this: it’s your turn, and you’re a devoted follower of Dziva. You have a special ability that allows you to adjust the prices of your tech cards. What’s even cooler is that you can do this at the beginning of your turn, even if you haven’t chosen the craftsman action yet. Talk about flexibility!

But here’s the thing – there’s a catch! Lowering prices is an exclusive privilege that only Dziva’s followers have. Not everyone can do it. Pretty neat, right? It adds a whole new layer of strategy and decision-making to the game.

Now, let me explain how this works. You see, at the start of your turn, you have the power to raise or lower the prices of your technology cards. It’s like having your own little pricing magic. But remember, this ability is truly unique to Dziva’s worshipers – they’re the only ones who can decrease the prices. Everyone else is missing out!

So, when it’s your turn, take a moment to consider if you want to adjust the prices of your tech cards. It can be a game-changer. Lowering prices can make your cards more affordable, enticing other players to buy them. On the other hand, raising prices can make them more valuable and profitable for you. It’s a balancing act, my friend.

Keep in mind that this power to change prices is incredible, but it’s not something you can abuse. You can only do it once per turn, so make sure to use it wisely. Think through your strategy and consider the consequences of your actions. After all, every decision counts when you’re aiming for victory.

In conclusion, being a follower of Dziva gives you a unique advantage. You have the power to adjust the prices of your tech cards, providing you with a strategic edge in the game. So, if you’re looking for a dynamic and thought-provoking experience, this is it! Embrace the challenge, and let Dziva guide you to triumph!

Eshu

The God Who Connects (II: The Builder / The Monument Maker)

When I worship Eshu, my transportation range expands from 3 to 6. I’m able to travel farther and tap into a larger pool of resources. It’s like having an army of skilled craftsmen at my disposal. With Eshu by my side, I can construct grand monuments and create wondrous structures.

This incredible ability, however, comes with an interesting twist: the number of available construction sites can either increase or decrease. It all depends on the intricacies of the game. But here’s the key point — the expanded range effect only applies during my turn as the Eshu devotee.

Discover the Magic of Gu

The Master Craftsmen (II: Place Craftsmen)

If you love Gu, you’ll be happy to know that each technology card you acquire only costs 1 VR.

But here’s the real magic: if you start loving Gu after you’ve already acquired some technology cards, you’ll get a VR refund. That means you’ll only have to pay 1 VR for each technology card you already own.

And the best part? You can even choose Gu when you have 40 VR! That’s right, there’s no need to worry about paying extra. The VR rebate will apply to all your current technology cards.

Obatala

The Divine Creator (II: Build a Monument)

Hey there! If you’re a fan of Obatala, I’ve got great news for you. When you decide to build a monument, you can actually place two of them instead of just one. How awesome is that?

Atete

Goddess of Fertility (II: Raise Monuments)

When I worship Atete, I get to use each resource not just once, but twice! That means I can place a second used marker on every resource.

Tsui-goab

The Shapeshifter (II: Build Monuments)

Hey there! If you’re a fan of Tsui-Goab, you’re in for a treat. You know, when it comes to raising a level 2 or higher monument, you don’t have to worry about collecting different types of ritual goods. Nope, not at all!

With Tsui-Goab, you can actually use the same type of ritual good more than once. For example, you can use two masks instead of one mask and an ivory carving. How cool is that?

Now, don’t get me wrong. Even Tsui-Goab has limitations. You won’t be able to use primary ritual goods once secondary ritual goods of that same type are available. Gotta keep things fair and balanced, you know?

Anansi

The Sneaky One (II: Building Monuments)

Hey there! I want to tell you about Anansi, who is known as a tricky character. Anansi has a special ability that allows me to pay just 1 cattle for each ritual good I buy from a craftsman, no matter how much it costs originally.

Now, let’s say I decide to buy a secondary ritual good. I still have to provide the primary ritual good and pay that craftsman 1 cattle too. So, it’s like a two-for-one deal!

Qamata

The Trade God (II: Build Monuments for Every Player)

When I’m around, everyone using hubs pays me instead of the common stock.

Engai

Bringer of Cows

When I worship Engai, I receive 2 extra cows every time I collect revenue.

Xango

The Rhythm Master (IV)

Let’s talk about Xango, the incredible Lord of Drummers! Now, you’re probably wondering, what’s so special about this guy? Well, I’ll tell you. Xango may not have any specific superpowers, but he has this amazing ability to bring down the Voltage Requirement (VR) of any player who worships him by two. How cool is that?

Oh, and here’s another thing that sets Xango apart. If multiple players manage to reach their VR in the same round, guess who comes out on top? That’s right, it’s Xango! He wins any ties.
