It is a time of blood, of ritual, of war. Gods walk among the tribes, each hungering for the devotion that gives them form. Though the gods are many, only one will endure the ages above all others.

Mezo is an area control game for 2-4 people, heavily influenced by Mayan mythology.  Each player controls a Mayan god and their group of followers.

Followers must make sacrifices, build step pyramids and war for dominance, in the hope that they can lead their tribe to glory.  There are two types of follower - warriors, and shamans - and battles are not just about strength.

Instead, they can be won in several ways, unlocking special abilities and gaining the winning tribe immense power.

There's a lot of buzz around this first "big box" game from designer John Clowdus and it's not difficult to understand why.  Early pictures of the God miniatures are pretty cool, and it has an interesting rule design which differentiates it from other area control games.

Mezo will be launching on Kickstarter on the 25th September, but fans can keep up to date by subscribing here.
