About this game
Summon or Perish in Rite or Ruin
In this tense multiplayer game of deception, you and up to three other cultists compete to summon your eldritch patrons. Place hidden tokens, manipulate the odds, and lure your rivals into catastrophic mistakes. Will you shape the Rite to your advantage, or tempt fate and be devoured by the power you hoped to command?
Joining The Rite
1. See the deck. Each round begins with a deck revealed to all players, then shuffled and randomly dealt.
2. Play your hand. You must place a set number of hidden cards (Tributes or Patrons) onto the table.
3. Make your bet. Predict how many Tribute cards you can safely claim without revealing a Patron. The highest bidder takes control of the Rite.
4. Draw your fate. Pull cards from your own pile first, then from others in the order you choose. If you fail to collect enough Tribute, or you expose a Patron, the Rite backfires.
Summon your Patron
Complete the Rite twice to unleash your dark god and brutally eliminate another cultist of your choice
But beware, the others will do anything to stop you
Failure has Consequences
If you fail the Rite, you must play an increasingly dangerous game of chance - unless you can convince another player to help you
Beware the Jester card. If it sabotages a Rite, all players could be at risk
Choose your Cultist
Four different cultists to choose from, each with their own unique eldritch master
Will you summon a tentacled horror? A world-devouring snake? How will you destroy your enemies?
