Oh My Gods!

About this board game

Oh My Gods! is a fast-paced deduction game for 3–5 players that plays in about 15 minutes. One Greek god has stolen Zeus’s lightning bolt, and players must uncover which suspect has no alibi.

Each player receives a hand of god cards representing suspects with alibis. With twenty possible suspects, you must exchange information with your opponents and secretly track what you learn on your score card. The goal is to identify the hidden thief before anyone else.

Every god has a special power that can reveal more information and help narrow the search. However, using a power also gives your opponents valuable clues and may leave you with fewer cards in hand, so every action carries a risk.

• Deduce the god with no alibi from twenty possible suspects.
• Exchange information while keeping your score card hidden.
• Use the gods’ powers to investigate and gain information.
• Race your rivals to identify the thief first.

As the investigation unfolds, watch out for Zeus. His anger can disrupt the game while you search for the culprit, adding extra pressure to every decision.

In Oh My Gods!, being first is not enough—you must also be correct. Name the thief god and win, but choose wrongly and you lose and are out for the remainder of the game. Released in 2016, this compact mystery game combines hidden information, deduction, and mischievous divine powers in a quick contest of wits.
