The Hellgame
The HellGame is a boardgame of power-struggle and intrigue among the Daemons of Hell. The players each assume the role of a Triumvirate of three daemons thirsty for power and influence and the winner is the first player to claim control of one of Hell's Circles and have his or her claim recognized as just by Lucifer Morningstar, Ruler of Hell.
BACKGROUND
From the historical notes of The HellGame:
Some people claim that Belzebub (as well as most other Daemons) has three heads. This, however, is just a medieval stereotype that caught on sometime around the year 950 when triplet heads was fashionable among Daemonkind. The whole fad soon went out of fashion when it was discovered that no creature could stay sane while having to cope with three separate brains. Once that was finally settled, Daemonkind then applied themselves to the task of staging the Crusades.
ABOUT THE GAME
The HellGame is played in Turns and each turn consists of the following Phases.
- Hell Phase - Draw Hell Cards to determine what random events and phenomena affect Hell this turn. The players also receive new Arcana Cards (Cards used for magic and other dirty tricks.).
- Soul Phase - The players each collect Souls (The currency of The HellGame.) and Daemons on Earth receive a Favour for doing evil work.
- Summoning Phase - The players each raise Legions (of damned) and other monstrosities to help them in their struggle.
- Action Phase(s) - The player's Daemons each perform one Action in order of rank. An action may for instance be to conspire, cast magic, travel to the Earth or do evil deeds.
- Random Moves Phase - Daemons and other entities outside of player's control move and act.
- Combat Phase - Combat between hostile bands of Daemons is resolved.
- Petitions Phase - The players may ask Lucifer to recognise their claims to different parts of Hell. You need to control one of Hell’s nine Circles in order to win The HellGame.
