Pariahs

Pariahs is a deck building, worker placement, area control game of multi-use cards for two players.

In your planet’s far future, you seek support to become your Society’s Pariah (one sent out to form a new Society with other Pariahs). But, you’re not the only one who wishes to become the Pariah.

Players will play cards from their personally crafted deck to the Locations to use effects, gain additional cards for their deck, get Devotees, earn Converts, and attempt to have the most Influence at the Locations; with the ultimate goal of securing Support. 

The game is played over a series of 6 rounds (comprised of alternating player turns). After 6 rounds, the player with the most Support wins and becomes the Pariah

Pariahs uses game mechanics that you’re probably familiar with (deck building, worker placement, and a bit of area control), but it presents those ideas purely with cards, and probably in some ways that may not feel familiar. 

In Pariahs, cards are used for everything, this includes representing zones, spaces, or areas that you would likely find on a game board in another game utilizing a similar set of mechanics.

Pariahs features 118 standard poker size, black core, linen finish cards.
