Deus

Deus is a civilization-themed board game designed by Sébastien Dujardin, illustrated by Ian Parovel, Maëva Da Silva, Christine Deschamps & Paul Laffont, published in 2014 by Pearl Games and distributed by Asmodee. In the game, players work to develop their civilizations. Each player starts the game with five building cards, and on a turn, a player can either play a card from their hand, or discard a card to gain resources. Players can also construct buildings in specific locations, which allows them to gain effects.

Why is Deus Popular?

Despite its niche, Deus was acclaimed for its fresh approach with many awards. The game was nominated and selected by As d’Or 2015, 2014 Meeple’s Choice, 2014 Board Game of the Year and 2014 Strategy Game of the Year, as well as the 2015 Kennerspiel Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) award nomination.
