Favor is an Ancient Greek mythology strategy board game for two to six players. You play as one of fourteen Gods and their citizens. Lead your followers to settle new lands while forging alliances and fending off attacks. Assemble unique synergies with your God's powers and position your citizens on the board to expand your empire and outwit your opponents. Gather and steal the most favor for your god to win the game!

In making Favor, we drew inspiration from some of our favorite games, including Magic the Gathering, Dominion, Civilization, and Age of Mythology.

As avid strategy game players, we've encountered many games in our time. From these games, we have learned that there are three core elements to a good strategy game:

• Well-balanced: All components of a game should have a comparable power level and nothing should fundamentally break the game
• Replayability: Each game you play should present new scenarios and decision points 
• Fun thematic design: The game tells a cohesive story that fully immerses you in its world

From our experience, most games have one or two of these elements, but rarely all three. We crave the precision of a well-balanced, dynamic game that's replayable for years and thematic every time you play. In the end, we decided the best way to find our ideal board game was to make it ourselves!

After 5+ years of designing and testing Favor, it is time to get it on your shelf! We plan to Kickstart our game sometime in 2024.
