Goetia: Nine Kings of Solomon

Players act as ritualists who place followers on a modular board to gather resources, recruit additional followers, and pursue contact with nine infernal entities. On each turn a single follower is placed to collect the depicted resources or trigger actions; recruiting more followers from the board costs the visible resources for that row or column and becomes cheaper as the round progresses. Spending resources to contact demons earns Demonic Attention; when a demon’s attention pool is emptied it is conjured and can be worshipped by paying further resources to gain powers, artifacts, and treasures. Demonic Powers and acquired coins contribute Worship Points, and new areas unlock late-game exchanges of cubes for Attention and opportunities to form pacts. The game ends when a player holds four active pacts or when the preset total number of pacts has been claimed.
