Whispers of the Muse: Omen Game 3

About this board game

Whispers of the Muse: Omen Game 3 is a standalone card game for two players that plays in about 30 minutes. As half-god children of the Olympians, you compete with your sibling to become the one mortal offspring worthy of joining the gods.

To win the contest, you must sack three cities where the gods have hidden powerful Kraters infused with divine power. Spend Coins to muster soldiers, beasts, seers, muses, and other Units, then deploy them to the cities to build your Strength and pursue victory.

• Wealth: Use three Wealth Actions to draw Units or gain Coins, with a bonus for focusing on one resource.
• Surge: Spend Coins to play Units or discard cards with certain Traits for abilities.
• Portent: Follow the abilities of Units with the Glean Trait.
• War: Resolve Sacked Cities and award a Krater to the player with the most Strength.
• Offering: Discard a card to gain additional cards and/or Coins.

A City is Sacked when the opposing player has at least three Units there, or when five or more Units occupy it. The player with the most Strength claims one of its Krater cards, worth two points at the end of the game—or one point if its ability is used.

With 22 Unique Unit cards and 6 Unique Krater cards, Whispers of the Muse introduces new Traits and abilities while remaining fully compatible with the other new and forthcoming Omen games. It reimplements Omen: A Reign of War, but is not compatible with previous Omen titles or expansions.
