Glorantha: The Gods War – Core Game PLUS Dragons and Cosmic Monsters expansions, boxed board game, boxed board game, by Sandy Petersen
“Designed by Sandy Petersen and set in the mythic cult universe of Glorantha, The Gods War is a fast moving strategy game set in a universe on the brink of disaster. In The Gods War, you take the part of powerful elemental factions, battling to determine the fate of the cosmos. The Gods War has been in development for more than three years. It is highly asymmetric featuring wildly different factions. You’ll fight over territory, perform miracles, and command monsters and gods. You can storm the gates of heaven itself, or watch the world collapse into the Chaos Rift.
GLORANTHA
The world of Glorantha came into existence 50 years ago, in the writings of Greg Stafford. It has spawned video games, board games, roleplaying games, comic books, novels, and art. Sandy Petersen was key in developing this fantasy universe during his time at Chaosium. Now he has returned to it for his newest great project. Explore this universe as one of the Greater Powers who control its destiny.

We don’t recommend using all three in a single game. Included are the Black Dragon, Red Dragon and Brown Dragon, along with cards, rewards and everything needed to add them to your Gods War game.
Chaos Monsters Expansion
“Add the Cosmic Monsters to your game of The Gods War. These enormous, cosmic beings change the game dramatically. The Cosmic Monsters do not enter the game until the Great Compromise has been initiated. They aren’t ANYONE’s friend, but can be used to thwart others, and by killing them you can gain unique rewards. We don’t recommend using all three in a single game.

“The Gods War is a brilliant and immersive strategy game with a rich and textured lore. The premise is simple, but the varied factions with dissimilar powers lead to some intense game play.” (Anton Olsen, GeekDad)
“I can see Gods War rewarding a lot of replay, and that’s not something I say about a lot of games…” (Ed McWalters, Geeky & Genki)
“I have been playtesting Glorantha: The Gods War since January, 2014, and I have seen this game grow and evolve into something both familiar to Cthulhu Wars players and at the same time something wholly unique and fantastic. Asymmetrical gameplay and mythic events that change the nature of the game and board contribute to a phenomenal experience with tons of replay.” (Jonathan Cohen, Key Playtester)
“Every faction has their own route to victory within one cohesive ruleset. Constant adaptation is required to keep up.” (Brad Gaffney, Key Playtester)
“What I loved most about The Gods War was that it maintained the thematic feel of my favourite RPG, RuneQuest, in a strategy game. Because there’s nothing like unleashing chaos creatures on your GM for an afternoon.” (David Coon, Gamer and Chaotic Evil Lawyer)
“The Gods War is epically fun! That’s not just a terrible pun, but also a statement of fact. The battle for dominance results in the inevitable clash of champions, dark betrayals, vengeful storms, brutal cataclysms, and the unyielding scourge of Chaos! There is a legendary faction to complement every style of play. Whether it’s your first game or your fiftieth, it thankfully remains consistently challenging. Win or lose, I always have a great time playing this game.” (Thaddeus Grant Fenton, Key Playtester)
“This game has the greatest variety of fantastical creatures I’ve ever seen. The gameplay is wildly strategic. A classic for millennia to come.” (Joey Larsen, Owner, Octagon Board Games)
