Dokmus is a board game for 2-4 players. Your goal is to lead an expedition to the island of Dokmus, the ancestral god of your tribe. The island is represented by eight double-sided map pieces. During setup you randomize which side of each map piece is up and place them in a 3 x 3 grid, so that the middle place is left empty. 

The island is guarded by five Guardians , which are represented by Guardian cards. On each turn, playes draft the Guardian cards, so that each player gets the help of one Guardian. The Guardian cards decide turn order and they also give you special powers. With them you can shape the island, move your tokens or gain first player marker for next turn. 

On your turn you have three tokens to use. You use tokens to spread your influence by placing them on the board. You can also sacrifice tokens to be able to cross waters or enter forests. Or you can just sacrifice them in a volcano. At the end of the game you get victory points for discovered temples and ruins on the map, and sacrificed tokens. 

The islands layout changes constantly based on player''s actions, making Dokmus a dynamic, fast paced game. So choose your Guardian, make the right sacrifices and gain the favor of Dokmus!
