"World of Mythology" is an unpredictable card game in which you play for the gods from ancient mythologies.

There is no odd stuff in the game - playing decks and special cards only!

There are 5 mythologies in the World of Mythology game: Greek, Egyptian, Hindu, Norse, and Slavic.
There are 60 playing cards with gods, 19 special cards, and 5 player cards with gods' powers in WOM CLASSIC.

One game round for 4 players lasts about 15 minutes! That's why WOM is a very comfortable way to have an interactive break wherever you are!

Every mythology is presented by 12 gods and goddesses

Hindu gods: Shiva (12), Vishnu (11), Parvati (10), Ganesha (9), Skanda (8), Kali (7), Indra (6), Surya (5), Lakshmi (4), Varuna (3), Vayu (2), Kama (1).

Norse gods: Odin (12), Thor (11), Frigg (10), Loki (9), Tyr (8), Hel (7), Heimdall (6), Njord (5), Skadi (4), Forseti (3), Bragi (2), Freyja (1).

The playing cards are simple and graphic; all detailed information can be referenced on the big player cards. After a few plays of the game, players will begin to easily recognize all the powers of gods and icons.

So let's start the game:

1. Every player gets a random player card with a mythology (a trump for that game round) and gods' powers description.

2. All players receive a hand of 4 random cards from the shared deck.

3. Dealer shows a random card from the shared deck to assign a player for the first move.

4. WOM is a circle card game, so every player has to play 1 card per game circle: by beating the previous card or dropping his card to the opponent's stake.

5. You can beat an opponent's card with a senior card from the same mythology (Zeus with his 12 points beats any Greek card) or with a god from your mythology (your trump) if his armor is strong enough (trump Hera with her 10 points beats gods from other mythologies with their 1 to 12 points).

6. When you play a card from your mythology (your trump), you use its special power automatically. You should read aloud the power description from your player card to all the opponents.

7. The winner of the hand takes all 4 cards to his stake (his earned points deck). But sometimes the winner can lose some cards from his stake due to gods' special powers.

8. All players take 1 card from the shared deck. The new hand begins with the previous circle winner.

9. The game round ends when the shared deck and playing cards end. It's time to count points from the stake. The winner of the game round becomes a dealer.

10. You can play either by rounds (counting just victories) or by reaching the exact point level (victory by reaching 500 points, for example).

Every character has a special power and an armor. Powers are based on ancient myths (Zeus beats opponents with lightning and Thor can use a thunder hammer, for example).

Armor level depends on god's position in adapted mythological hierarchy. There are gods and goddesses in every mythology whose power is to summon a special card.

There are 3 types of special cards: Wealth, Secret, and War.

Wealth is a card with bonus points: +10 (6 items), +20 (3 items), +30 (1 item). Available for Apollo (arts), Ptah (arts), Isis (fertility), Bragi (poetry), and Jarilo (fertility).

Secret is a card with a secret combination bonus: "Get +5 points for each Greek card in your stake", for example. Available for Athena (wisdom), Toth (knowledge), Frigg (wisdom), and Vesna (nature).

War is a deck of just two cards: Death and Life. It's available for all gods of war: Ares, Horus, Skanda, Tyr, and Triglav. If you play the god of war from your mythology, your opponents have to play a risky mini-game similar to Russian Roulette.

We also plan for great future decks: Chinese gods, Japanese gods, gods of Mesoamerica, gods of Science, The Outsiders, and Good vs. Evil double deck.
