    Description

    In this game, the trump is defined by the color of the god played by the player who engages the trick.

    Let’s imagine our player, playing as Artemis (whose color is purple), played a purple card. They are playing their own color, so they are playing the trump suit.
    Other players have to provide purple and have to rise (to play a higher value card). If they cannot rise, they have to play a lower value card, and if they don’t have any purple card either, they must discard any card from their hand.
    Now let’s imagine our first player, still Artemis, playing yellow. Other players have to provide the lead suit (yellow), but they don’t have to rise, since it's no longer the trump suit.
    • Another exemple: a first player doesn’t have a yellow card, they must ruff with a purple card and therefore start the next trick.
    • New situation: a second player doesn’t have a yellow card, either they have a trump suit card and must over-ruff (play a higher value card from the trump suit), or under-ruff if they have only lower value ones (play a lower value card from the trump suit). If they don’t have any card from the trump suit, they must discard any card from their hand.

    The player with the higher value card wins the trick.

    There are special cards in each suit: the Monsters which can cancel a trick under certain conditions and the Heroes who disables the Monsters.

    Scoring:
    At the end of the round, the players count the points they scored during it.
    The player with the most point gets 3 gems, the second only one, and the others take none.
    The first one with 12 gems wins the game, and become the new god of gods.
