📖 About This Game
Battle of GOG is a board game set in the ancient land of Canaan. Battle of GOG challenges all family members to find 5 sacred scrolls as they battle over the land of Canaan.
Game rules are simple, combining strategy and luck equally, so anyone can win. The game is easy to learn, but hard to master. Despite simple mechanics, game play involves complex strategic thinking. The map of the game can be assembled in numerous combinations, so each game session plays differently. Establishing 3 cities in the most abundant map areas won`t ensure your victory, as Ability Cards and Treasure Chest Cards can make the difference in a critical situation. And remember, GOG has the power to save you from the Angel of Retribution!
Battle of Gog is played over a series of rounds until at least one of the three winning conditions have been achieved by any player:
1) Long Variant: Conquering all other player's cities. Short Variant: Conquering the last city of any of the players.
2) Placing a soldier at each of the 4 corners of the map.
3) Obtaining all 5 Scrolls.
Each turn, the active player follows 4 phases in the following order:
Gathering and trading resources
Buying upgrades
Playing treasure cards
Rolling the dice
In the first few turns of the game, there will be no cities, so no resources can be collected.
