Basic Play
Kind words for Foretold:
"There's nothing else like this on the market, it fills a currently empty niche." - Bob Maher, Magic: the Gathering Hall of Famer and owner of ACD Distribution
"I love the temple building aspect!" - John Fiorillo, Stoneblade Entertainment, game designer: Vs system, WoW minis, Ascension, Solforge
"This is the first game that broke my 'don't buy a new board game' rule this year." - Brian Giese, Crippled System podcast.

Foretold: Rise of a God is a open-world, turn-based strategy game that combines familiar elements of fantasy card games and combative dice games in a new and exciting way. For 2 to 4 players, Foretold delivers an epic free-for-all experience where only 1 deity can reign supreme - all in one box!
Foretold is easy to learn! Within several turns, you'll have the basics down - and then it's up to you to develop your own strategy! You will expand a Temple, acquire Faithful followers to collect gold and fight in combat, and buy powerful Relics to tilt the game in your favor.

The Faithful in Foretold function similarly to cards you'd see in a deck-building game - but you never build a deck or have random draws! In Foretold, you have full control over where you "station" each of your Faithful - they can dwell in your Temple to defend and generate gold, or they can be sent to the Raiding Party to attack rival Temples. This unique control over your units makes Foretold stand out: no more losing to bad or frustrating draws. And because play features a balance between combat, gold production, and table politics, no one is truly out of the game until their life points are eliminated. Games have exciting finishes that really come down to the wire!
Another great component of Foretold are the Fate Decks. Fate Cards are powerful spells that add 'flavor' and variety to each game and interact with everything from combat to Tiles and the Marketplace. You can draw from any of the four Fates as the game progresses: the covetous Prosperity Deck, the defensive Grace deck, the aggressive Chaos deck, and crafty Wisdom deck. Align with your personality or try a new strategy every time - you're never truly locked in, but the most powerful cards require devotion! The wide variation in these skillfully crafted cards will offer new and veteran card gamers a deep, fascinating experience - again and again.

Tiles and Your Temple!

Foretold's most unique element is the modular nature of the Tiles which add a Tower-Defense aspect that is rarely seen in a table top game. Each Tile is double-sided, and capable of flipping over even on an opponent's turn. There are traps, unique rooms that create sub-quests while Raiding, and a number of other creative twists to keep the experience fresh over many games. The ultimate goal of a Raiding Party is to conquer the Heart Tile to Smite the opponent and knock out their life force, so a well-defended Temple requires buying additional Tiles from the randomized Tile Deck as well as stationing your best defenders in your Temple!
Combat
Every Tile with 'Stations' is a new battle, and the attacking player must wager how many Faithful it takes to defeat the defenders played on that Tile. If the attacking player 'dispatches' too few Faithful to fight, he is vulnerable to buffs and tricks from Fate Cards - even opponents can jump into the fray! A single defeat ends the raid - time to retreat! But each Faithful that makes it through to the Heart of the Temple deals extra damage to the opponent - so there is always pressure to defeat your rivals as efficiently as possible to maximize your damage. Combat might take players a few tries to master - but there's no penalty if your Faithful are defeated in a raid - they are all returned to your Temple or Raiding Party at the end of turn, ready for a new day. Only deadly Traps or certain Fate Cards can force you to sacrifice your devoted followers.

The Uncut Print Sheet: Uncut sheets of cards arrive directly from the manufacturer and are suitable for framing or as wall-posters. They are very rare, and we are limiting the quantity delivered to our first print run only, at this time. The cards shown may vary, depending on the print run, and may include Faithful, Relics or Fate Cards. If you back a tier that has an uncut sheet as part of your reward, you may specify which card type you prefer - although we can't guarantee it until the print run is delivered.
Avatar and Demigod Tiers: For these tiers, you will correspond with our design team in your preferred method of communication and assist us with pitching of ideas and concepts for a card you want to see brought to life. The cards name, flavor, and ability will all come from your input - with some balancing insurances from our end of course! Your name will be credited on the card at the bottom.
And, with the Avatar, we'll include your likeness on the card as well, if it is a Faithful or Relic. Then, when the card is finished, we'll either include it in our first expansion or release it as a promotional card - either way, you'll have some exclusive copies of this card to horde away for yourself, or give to friends, until the date of the release!
The Special Birthday Tier: Yes, Jay will hand-make the prototype in whatever manner you wish: the game was originally made and tested on post-it notes, then beer coasters. If you prefer that throw-back style, so be it! OR we can make a version with our current art-work. Your choice! Jay will just be happy to have your backing and reward you in kind.
The Divinity Tier: If you're interested in backing us at this Tier, the Cruise Cabin package involves a window or balcony stateroom for two. Taxes and Tip will apply. You are responsible for your own air fare to San Juan Puerto Rico. Upon backing this tier, a representative of Legion Events will contact you to assist in the booking of the cabin. You will join in an amazing time with our regular cruisers and some very famous VIP's in the gaming world as well! More details about the Magic Cruise are available here on the Legion Events website. For physical rewards, we will mail you everything in advance of the cruise - you will receive 2 copies of everything under the Warrior Tier.

Risks and challenges
We are manufacturing this product overseas, and with any manufacturing process, delays can happen. Additional potential for delay happens during shipping, where items could be held back for a month at the whim of the shipping industry. We have set a fairly tight goal for our project, but expect to be able to deliver in time. We even have a few backup plans in place to help us deliver to our backers on time, regardless of extra cost to us!
Legion Supplies has been working with Manufacturers in Taiwan for 5 years and understand the processes that go into making a product. The only production aspects that may change involve upgrades from stretch goals, and we are ready to move forward with those changes as soon as that goal is reached.
We have already invested time and proper research into production of this project and have the preparatory work under control. On the day this kick-starter ends, we can send the project to our manufacturer: templates will be completed, decisions about material types have been made, etc. This should give us our best odds for delivering a quality product on time!
