Summon or Perish in Rite or Ruin In this tense multiplayer game of deception, you and up to three other cultists compete to summon your eldritch patrons.

Joining The Rite 1. See the deck. Each round begins with a deck revealed to all players, then shuffled and randomly dealt. 2. Play your hand. You must place a set number of hidden cards (Tributes or Patrons) onto the table. 3. Make your bet. Predict how many Tribute cards you can safely claim without revealing a Patron.
