What is Pantheum?
Pantheum is a 1-4 player strategy board game that takes place just after the Greek gods have defeated the Titans, leaving the world in ruins. Zeus has tasked some of the gods (that’s you) with reshaping the land by creating Forests, Mountains and Rivers according to your Divine Plan. But beware, your divine siblings have a different vision for how the world should be reformed.
On your turn, you’ll influence the world by adding and shifting elements that can transform into permanent landscapes. You'll recruit powerful Demigods, each bringing new abilities inspired by their myths, to craft your unique strategy. Once the world is reformed, the god who best matches their vision and assembles the strongest team of Demigods will emerge victorious!
Why Back Pantheum
Only the Kickstarter print of Pantheum will include the Element Tray modeled off the base of Ionic Greek Columns. Super useful for any game with tokens!
Key Features
Pantheum's art is deeply inspired by the rich landscapes and architectural landmarks of Greece, bringing the essence of the ancient world to life in an authentic board gaming experience.
Occupy strategic areas to empower your Demigods to shape the world in your favor. Your team of Demigods can unleash powerful combos to help your god create new landscapes!
Jump straight into the action with easy-to-follow rules and Quick Guide cards. Once you've mastered the basics, your strategy evolves as you discover new Demigod combos and master the art of strategically positioning your god.
Experience the Greek Demigods brought to life through detailed artwork and unique abilities that reflect their myths and legends.
How to Play
Each player has a secret Divine Plan card. Create Mountains, Forests and Rivers in those locations to score Victory Points.
The sneakiest gods exploit overlaps in Divine Plans cards to let others build Landscapes to their advantage!
Take one action to manipulate Elements across the world. Then, transform 3 Elements into a Permanent Landscape, leaving your Favor in the City.
Pantheum starts simple with only 3 actions to pick from, but wait until the Demigods get involved!
Recruit legendary Demigods with unique abilities that can be used every turn. Stack them in the same Action Column for powerful combos to outplay your opponents!
Can you get the Demigods to cooperate towards a winning strategy?
Once the world is reformed, score Victory Points for:
- Landscapes that match your Divine Plan.
- Favor Tokens on Cities Tiles.
- The Strongest Demigod in each of your Action Columns.
Become the reigning god in Pantheum!
What's Included
Deluxe Components
For the ultimate experience of Pantheum, we're offering upgraded components in the Deluxe Tier to put the power of the god in your hands!
The custom minifigures reflect the architecture of real garden statues honoring the gods standing atop their pillars. Don't worry about getting your minifigures confused in game since each one comes with their color icon already printed on the back and front!
Upgrade the standard die to the "Element Stone". Our custom engrave resin die is a unique 3 sided die resembling a marble stone. Each cast of the stone will show two visible elements that you will collect from the bank.
Monsters & Mandates Expansion
NEWLY ADDED: The "Influence of the Immortals" Mini-Expansion is now included in the Monsters & Mandates Expansion. Each player will have 2 Unique and Thematic Powers and will choose 1 to use each game.
The Monsters and Mandates Expansion box includes two distinct expansions that introduce entirely new gameplay and mechanics to Pantheum. The Monsters expansion adds a new resource, Hoplites, and offers a more creative gameplay experience, ideal for players who have completed the core game at least once.
The Mandates expansion introduces a public objective that all players must complete by the end of the game... or face Hades' wrath if they fail. Will you play it safe for a modest reward, or take a risk and aim for a more challenging task with a greater reward before time runs out?

Meet the Team
Hi! I’m Trevor, creator of Pantheum and I’m so happy you’re reading this! Almost two years ago, I started combining my love of tabletop games with my love of Greek mythology. I grew up reading the Percy Jackson book series and always wanted to create my own team of cool Greek Demigods. I joined and eventually started leading the San Diego Board Game Design Group to workshop ideas and playtest my mechanics with other local designers. Now, I am excited to bring a gaming experience that I feel captures the craftiness of the Greek Gods and merges it with modern board game strategy. I can’t wait for you to share the same experience of Pantheum!
And a massive thank you to all those who playtested and gave their valuable feedback!

Pantheum Update: Delivering soon + Tariff Donations + Translations
2025-03-25 18:19:27Pantheum is HERE!
We’re thrilled to share that Pantheum has officially made it to our fulfillment center in the USA and is ready to head out to backers ahead of schedule! It’s an incredible feeling to see the game finally making its way around the world and we can’t wait for you to unbox it and dive in. Check your region below for updates:
Asia
Games to most Asian destinations have already started being delivered! However, due to a logistics goof, games headed to Hong Kong are now scheduled to arrive in early May. So sorry and thanks for your patience! ??⏳
USA/Canada
The seas were in our favor! All pledges for Canada and USA have arrived at our fulfillment center and should be on their way to backers next week. Keep an eye out for an email next week with your tracking info. Exciiiiiiting!
UK/Europe/Rest of the World
Pantheum is still enjoying its voyage on the cargo ship and is scheduled to arrive in the UK in early April. Once they clear customs and reach the fulfillment center, shipping is aimed to begin in late April. No tracking info has been provided yet.
Optional Tariff Assistance
Early this month, tariffs increased another 10%. Normally, these fees would be added to the MSRP and passed on to future customers, but since these tariffs happened after we locked everything in, they’ve thrown a bit of a lightning bolt into the budget.
When I shared that we’d be covering the extra fees ourselves, a number of you reached out with encouraging words and offers to help. I was truly amazed by your kindness! At first, I was hesitant to ask for help, but your support and messages made me feel more comfortable providing a optional way for anyone who wants to lend a hand.
If you'd like to help ease the unexpected strain from these tariffs, I’ve added a link below. There’s absolutely no pressure to donate because your support in bringing Pantheum to life has already made a huge impact and helped a small publisher make a big dream come true!
Customer Support through Hive
If you have any questions or issues with your pledge, the best way to get help is by submitting a customer support ticket through Hive. Messages sent via social media or Kickstarter may take longer to address or could be missed.
Seeking Volunteer Translators (German & French)
We were incredibly lucky during the campaign to have two amazing backers, Tomoyuki Ishida and Carlos Satorres, volunteer their time to translate the rulebook into Japanese and Spanish. Their translations are now available for everyone on Pantheum’s BoardGameGeek page.
Now, we’re hoping to find volunteers for German and French rulebook translations! We do have a professional translation company on standby, but wanted to offer the opportunity to the community first. If you are willing to help out, I'd love to credit you on BoardGameGeek for your contribution! If you’re interested, please email me at trevor@archwoodgames.com.
Thank You!
We’re so grateful for your support, patience, and enthusiasm throughout this journey. Seeing Pantheum come to life and head into your hands is a dream come true, and it wouldn’t have happened without you. We can’t wait to hear what you think once you start playing!
