You could be the greatest warlord the isles have ever seen. Your thirst for power is matched only by your strategic wit and cunning. You know no rival, aside from your brother.

As sons of Zeus, you stand poised to conquer all of Greece, but not without the blessing of the gods. To determine who shall rule the domain of man, the gods have devised a contest and lent their most powerful forces for the cause: pillage and raze three cities. When the carnage ends, only one brother will be victorious, while the other will fade into antiquity as just another half-god spawn of Zeus.



To compete in this contest, players will take on the role of one of these two brothers with access to a powerful array of units including soldiers, beasts, and oracles; each with various uses. Soldiers are powerful, and affect the city they are played in Beasts are easily double the strength of the average soldier, but occupy two slots in the player's available army, and may be discarded to access powerful special abilities. The oracles offer passive boons to the player, but leave a lot to be desired in strength.

Omen: A Reign of War is a two-player card game by Small Box Games and features two distinct game modes: standard and draft. The standard game has players drawing cards from a collective deck, and accessing cards from a collective discard pile. The draft game allows players access to their favorite units, with each player drafting his own deck to play the game with.

Yet another card-drafting/deck-building game? The art looks good though

I think it's only a drafting game in the same sense that Warhammer Invasion is. Which is to say, most people will probably just play the standard game.

Aside from that, it seems to be more like Summoner Wars or Battleground Fantasy Warfare - a card driven tactics game. I'm vaguely interested, but I may already have too many 2p-only games right now.  Sad

Just saw the video review for this:

http://boardgamegeek.com/video/6416/omen-a-reign-of-war/video-review-in-hd

Definitely interested now.

@Gaebril - Yes. The Summoner Wars folks seem to be responding positively to this. It's how this game caught my attention.

It's hard haha. But I feel much better now after all the rave reviews the game has been getting. I've hopefully stumbled into a little gem here.
