The game is set in the imaginary, and quite hostile, world of Num Oluur. The Gods of Num Oluur are competing to become the most powerful and adored divinity. Victory can be gained either by capturing an elemental force, Vaal Er Num, or by developing a following capable of building a sanctuary. On their turn, players role the dice to move the Vaal Er Num and then place followers in attempts to capture this brute force. The game combines elements of creating a different board each time it is played (not unlike Carcassonne) and a more strategic part of competing with other players. On this second aspect, old school gamers might remember the very excellent Zargos. And if you don't it is worth checking out! The game is meant to be the first part of a series of games in the universe of the Num Oluur. The outcome of this game provides a different start for Chapter II. —description from the designer
