{"product_id":"demons","title":"Demons","description":"\u003cp\u003eDemons is a compelling game of strategy and chance for two players, inspired by ancient myths and Victorian occultists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the temple of an ancient god of Lust and Wrath, direct your coven of demon-possessed acolytes to aid their deity in escaping an attack from a cadre of warrior exorcists, the Slayers, or direct these fanatical killers in their elimination of the Demons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game develops as Slayers kill and remove Demons from the board, and Demons possess their opponents to add to their number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter one side wins the first battle, record the numbers that survived on each side, switch roles and play again. Due to the game’s asymmetry, this is the only fair way to determine an overall winner. And, alternating roles after each battle, with different positions, goals and powers, challenges each player's strategic and tactical skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe element of chance in the mechanics of movement and action makes every game uniquely exciting, as the game's dice ensure that players cannot be certain which moves are possible on their next turn. Consequently, reversals of who has the advantage are always possible, the victory of one side over another is rarely inevitable, and the play remains engaging throughout. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rules of Demons can be explained and understood in a few minutes, but the dilemmas of choice in tactics and strategy throughout the game make it medium-level in complexity. Players from ages 12 and up can enjoy it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDemons content:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRules of play and advice on strategy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVelvet-backed gameboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn enamelled golden metal coin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThirty-three reversible wooden pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree engraved custom dice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVelvet draw-string bag to contain all pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Schemata Games","offers":[{"title":"12 years or older","offer_id":56508557459782,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/8726\/0742\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_8cec7732-6dc4-4aba-8e26-d7691eaa53b5.png?v=1778093100","url":"https:\/\/www.schemata-games.co.uk\/products\/demons","provider":"Schemata Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
