![]() ![]() ![]() From what I have seen, there are really two main strategies in Pantheon - you can attempt to build a lot of columns (the more you have, the more points they are worth, and ideally you want to place all of them if you want to win), or you can attempt to buy sacrifice tiles in order to gain the favor of the gods. The first thing that I will note about Pantheon isn't really a pro or con, just an observation. (And after the sixth epoch you also put the game away.) Except for after the third and sixth epoch - on those, you score for monuments and minor gods. Then, you select a new civilization and start over. The epoch continues until all of the booty tokens or god tokens have been collected. The final two actions are gaining the favor of a god, or drawing three cards. The next action that a player can select is a buy action - this lets you unlock more feet and columns (for movement), place feet and columns, or buy and upgrade sacrifice tiles (which help with gaining the favor of a god). After the first player performs his movement, all other players can choose to move as well (or draw one card). All of the movement has to start from the temple, and while placing, the player can attempt to claim "booty" tokens or can place monuments. One action is movement - the player can play any number of movement cards from his hand, and gets one bonus movement for selecting the action. After this setup, player take turns selecting actions. ![]() In each epoch, a certain civilization (not one of the players) is in power - this determines where the "temple" (starting point for the epoch) is placed, and each civilization also has a special effect that immediately occurs. Either way, the players are attempting to build monuments and win the favor of the gods, because ultimately, their dying and resurrecting people group wants one thing - victory points. Or something like this - I'm unclear on what exactly. In Pantheon, the player represents a race of people that continues dying off and coming back to life. Since I like so many of their other titles, I decided to try this one. One of Rio Grande Games' newest titles is Pantheon. ![]()
