Description

Each round in Demigods, each player trains a hero by taking a demigod card and artifact card at random from the center of the table and pairing them together. The demigod cards feature a strength value and possibly symbols, while the artifact cards (possibly) modify the value of the paired demigod card in some way, with the maximum value for any combination being 30.

A starting pot of 1 Aischune (meaning "dishonor") is created, then in turn players take one of three actions:

• Adding more Aischune to the pot up to a maximum of 10.
• Knocking on the table to stay in without raising.
• Discarding their cards to fold the hand, with the first folder gaining 3 Aischune and each other folder gaining 2 Aischune.

Once the maximum pot has been reached or all players have passed, players reveal their totals, with the weakest player "winning" the pot. In ties, the pot is split between those with the lowest score.

Continue playing rounds until someone has collected at least 30 Aischune at which time the game ends and whoever has the fewest Aischune wins. In the event of a tie, keep playing rounds until one player has the lowest score.
