About

War - Batalhas Mitológicas is a Risk like game, played by 3 or 4 players. The war takes place in a mythological world where you can ask for help (Greek Gods give special powers like re-rolls) and battle with infantry or mythical creatures (centaurs, cyclops, etc). The goals are similar to Risk: conquer a certain number of territories, continents or wipe out another player from the board. The game play is similar too: a player can exchange cards for warriors, distribute his warriors between his territories and then attack one or more adjacent territories. The novelties are: you receive a certain number of coins at the start of your turn depending on the number of temples and mount olympus that you have; if you attack with a mythological creature, you must roll 3 d6 and 1 d8 and discard the smallest result; you can ask a favor for the gods; for example, you can pay a coin to Hades and he will revive up to 3 of your deceased warriors.
