📕 The Rules
With the exception of Apollo, all gods give access to Mythological Creatures.
🃏 By paying the cost indicated under the card in their dedicated river on the auction board, you can take the corresponding card and apply the indicated effect.
💰 The costs can vary from 2 to 5 gold coins, depending on the discounts linked to the temples you have built beforehand.
Most creatures have one-time immediate effects, which must be used immediately.
♟️ Some creatures are represented by a miniature, which has an effect affecting a land or sea area on the board.
This creature will remain under your control, with its effect, as long as you decide to pay its maintenance cost by discarding a Priestess card in the next Cycle. At that time, you may move this creature to a nearby area.
⚡ Creatures with immediate effect
Charon
Which allows you to exchange one of your Heroes with another available Hero,
Chimera
which allows you to play a Creature from the discard pile and then shuffle the deck and the discard pile together,
The Dryad
which steals an opponent’s Priestess,
The Harpy
which destroys an opposing Troop.
♟️ Creatures with miniatures
You will find many mythical creatures with very powerful instant effects, including:
Cerberus
the three-headed dog, which brings control of a land area from which you reap the benefits,
Medusa
the three-headed dog, which brings control of a land area from which you reap the benefits,
Minotaur
which strengthens your army significantly since its strength is equivalent to that of 2 Troops.
All these possibilities will allow you to develop the best strategies to dominate your opponents! So, are you ready to take up the challenge?
