Omen: A Reign of War
Two heirs of Zeus vie for control of ancient Greece by winning the favor of the gods. Players command legendary forces and gods’ gifts, deploying units, razing and pillaging cities, and managing resources to outmaneuver and eliminate the opponent’s forces. The game plays as a head-to-head tactical card battle where individual units have unique abilities, and players choose strategies through standard or draft setup rules. Components and rules support expandable play and compatibility with other entries in the same saga.

from 2 Ludoya reviews
Cool 2-player confrontational game PROS - The gameplay has many decisions to make. - Expansions create a lot of new ways to score points, including some that your opponent cannot perfectly predict. Hidden victory points create more tension. - The art is gorgeous. CONS - Games are not as enjoyable without knowing the cards. - May fall in a weird spot: too long/complicated for casual gamers, too simple for experienced players.
