What to Expect
In Theocratia you play as advanced alien deities who influence four civilizations on a single island over long spans of time. You guide exploration, city founding, battles and grand festivals to gain admiration from the peoples. The game blends Civilization-style development with Action Drafting, Dice Rolling and movement on a hexagon grid; your choices determine which civilizations act where. Victory goes to the deity with the most worship at the end.
Who Is This Game For?
Theocratia targets hobby/enthusiast players who enjoy Civilization themes and tactical positioning on a hex grid. It supports solo play (1 player) and scales up to four. The listed duration of about 80 minutes implies a medium-to-long session suitable for players comfortable with moderate complexity.
How It Works
Players take the roles of gods influencing four civilizations located on a hexagon grid. Core mechanics include Action Drafting, Grid/Hexagon Movement and Dice Rolling; players draft actions and resolve them, often using dice. Civilizations explore, build settlements, engage in combat and celebrate, and your actions try to steer those developments toward tiles that favor you. The goal is to gather the most admiration points by the game’s end.
