You may be the greatest hero the isles have ever seen: your cunning unmatched; your ingenuity unfailing; your leadership unquestioned. You have no equal... aside from your sibling.

​

As half-god children of the Olympians, the deathless have posed a contest to determine the greatest of their mortal offspring: sack three cities where the gods have hidden powerful Kraters, each infused with their own divine power.

​

From soldiers and beasts to seers and muses, mustering forces to sack these cities is only a few coins away.  While recovering the Kraters lies at the heart of the gods' contest, they may also be impressed by the triumphs you accomplish at the city steps, and the company you keep might help to sway their choice of a victor.

 

Only one will join the Olympians.  The other will fade into antiquity as another forgotten spawn of the gods.

"Omen has been one of my favorite games for over a decade. ...this is the most I've enjoyed Omen in a long time. That's saying a lot." - Dan Thurot | Space-Biff (thurot.com)

The Omen games are a series of two player card games set in mythic Greece (and the Mediterranean).  Each Omen game in this series is a small footprint, standalone card game of competing half-god siblings bent on sacking three Cities and impressing the Olympian Gods.  Illustrated by Aaron Nakahara and designed by John Clowdus.

​.........

In Omen, players alternate taking turns gaining and spending Coins to play Unit cards, each with their own unique effects, to their side of three different Cities (each comprised of two City/Krater cards) to trigger effects and sack the Cities; vying to the winner by having the most points when the game ends.

​

When a City is Sacked, the player with the most Strength in that City gains one of that City's Krater cards, which is worth two points in the player's hand, but also has its own powerful effect if a player chooses to break it, reducing its point value to one. When both of a City's Kraters have been claimed, that City is Razed. When all three Cities are Razed, the game ends and players score points for the Krater Cards and Coveted Units in their hand, as well as the broken Krater Cards and facedown Triumph Units in their Rewards.

​

Rushing to Sack the Cities, playing towards completing Triumphs, and hopefully hoarding Coveted Units in your hand; Omen offers several paths to scoring points and impressing the deathless, watching Olympians.

Each Omen game is a standalone, two player card game; with each standalone game containing 22 Unique Unit cards and 6 Unique Krater cards, with each game offering new combinations of Traits, effects, and combos. 

 

Each standalone Omen game is fully compatible with all new (2024) Omen games from Small Box Games; and the different games can be combined various ways.

Physical copies of The Omen Games are available exclusively through this website and DriveThruCards.com.
