4 Gods

Four Gods is an engaging real - time tile - laying game. Players build a world tile by tile, then choose one of the four gods and strive to gain followers by sending prophets. Each player starts outside a cardboard frame representing the world's boundary, with two randomly - drawn double - sided tiles. These tiles show 1 - 3 types of the four landscapes in the world. At the start, players simultaneously place tiles in the frame, starting from the corners and building inwards. Tiles must be adjacent on two sides and landscape types must match at borders. Instead of placing a tile, players can discard it, with a limit of ten in the discard area. When hands are free, new tiles can be drawn or picked from discard areas. During the game, players can claim a god and its followers. Each god is linked to a specific landscape type. With followers, prophets can be placed on newly - placed tiles to claim landscape sections. If a player thinks a board section can't be filled, they can place a round city marker. Prophets can claim the city, and it can be'replaced' with a matching tile later. The game ends when the world is full or no more tiles can be placed. Points are scored for occupied or smashed cities and landscapes with prophets. The god with the most points wins!

To play Four Gods, first, set up the cardboard frame that represents the world. Each player gets two random double - sided tiles. Start placing tiles in the corners of the frame and build inwards. Make sure tiles are adjacent on two sides and landscape types match. If you don't want to place a tile, you can put it in your discard area, but don't go over ten tiles. When your hands are free, draw new tiles or pick from discard areas. At any time, claim a god and start sending prophets to gain followers. Remember, you can only place prophets on tiles you just added. If you spot a section that can't be filled, put a city marker there. Keep an eye out for matching tiles to'replace' the city. The game wraps up when the world is full or no more tiles can be placed. Count your points for cities and landscapes with prophets. There's no special maintenance needed for this game, just keep the tiles and markers in a safe place to avoid losing them. Have fun playing!
