Hieron

Description

Hieron is a cooperative game in which players work together to win the favor of the 12 Gods of Olympus. Each deity has their own preferences, accepting different offerings at their temples and, throughout the game, Heroes appear to help with the missions. Each turn the player must play an offering card in one of the Gods' temples that has the same number or type as the last card played. If they don't, they pass the turn or play a hero who changes some of the rules of the game. When a temple is completed, the player who finished it makes a demand, asking another player for a type of card, who reveals the highest card of the type requested, if they have one, making it visible to everyone. Communication between players is extremely limited and this type of revelation can make the game easier. To win, the team must complete all 12 temples, using the strategy efficiently.
