Hera and Zeus

Two opposing deities vie to rescue their kidnapped mortals by destroying the other's forces and seizing the hostage. Players arrange cards in opposite three-column, four-row matrices and play cards face-down into the formation, creating hidden information and bluffing about strength. On each turn a player has as many actions as columns and may attack using cards on the leading edge of columns, draw, or play special action cards. Attacks compare combat values and remove the losing card. Victory comes from eliminating all opponent columns, capturing the hostage from the opponent’s hand, or leaving the opponent unable to spend all their actions.
