About this board game
The HellGame is a board game of diplomacy and intrigue for 2–6 players, with play lasting about 180 minutes. Each player controls a triumvirate of daemons competing for power and notoriety in a struggle over the Circles of Hell.
Victory belongs to the first player to claim control of one of Hell’s circles and have that claim recognized as just by Lucifer Morningstar, Ruler of Hell. This creates a tense contest in which control can shift back and forth as players pursue their own ambitions.
The game combines a board and counters with cards. The board and counters show how the battle for Hell’s Circles develops, while cards provide tools such as spells and dirty tricks. Together, these elements support a game shaped by negotiation, maneuvering, and rivalry.
