Description

Each player must gather enough resources (Influence (cubes), Adepts (meeples), Powers (tokens)) to light the flames of the PANTACLE one by one. These resources can only be obtained by requesting favors from the Keepers of the PANTACLE. There are 7 types of favors that provide either resources or powers whose effects will make your progress easier. Beware though! If another player has the right set of cards in hand, they can counter your request and bribe the favor away from you.

To light a flame on the PANTACLE, players regularly need to sacrifice accumulated resources. The further players progress, the harder the PANTACLE resists and the more complex the game becomes. Indeed, a player who lights a flame receives a reward (resource, power) but also a curse, despite the sacrifice of resources. The Keepers can suspend a Curse for a time, but will the other players let them?
