Overview

A card-and-chip-based board game inspired by the war between humans and gods.

What is Nephiroke

The game divides the legions of Imperus and Fierus by odd and even card numbers. It includes eleven types of cards, from Nephilim cards ranked 1 to 10 to the Lucifer card, with the rank printed in each corner. Players also receive 25 skill cards, which may only be used once per round, and the first player to deplete their entire hand wins.

Nephilim Legion (Light)

The warriors who inherit the will of the divine make up the Fallen Nephilim legion, led by their supreme commander Diablo, in battle against humanity’s armies. Represented by odd-numbered cards (1, 3, 5, 7, 9), they collectively symbolize “light.”

Fallen Legion (Dark)

Those who defy the divine are represented by the forces opposing the Nephilim legion. Expressed through even-numbered cards (2, 4, 6, 8, 10), they symbolize “darkness.”

Lucifer (Wild Card)

Lucifer, the joker card, is the only special card that can be played as either black or white.

Game Characters (Updated Ver.)

Card and character designs embody the spectrum of good and evil across each rank.

Game Play (How-to)

• If a player cannot counter an opponent’s card, the turn passes to the next player.

• Even if a player can counter, they may strategically choose to skip.

• If no one can respond and the turn cycles back, the player may freely add another card.

• After blocking an opponent’s card, if the next player cannot counter, the same card number may be added again.

• This process continues until one player uses up their entire hand, claiming victory for that round. The round winner becomes the starting player of the next round.

Skill Card (Usage)

• Each player may only use a skill card once per game.

• Skill cards remain face-down and visible only to the owner until activated.

• When played, they must be revealed and placed face-up on the table, and cannot be reused.

*Example:

• Player A plays “1. Michael.”

• Another player reveals the skill cards “Lucifer” and “Corruption,” using Lucifer to block Michael.

• The revealed skill cards remain on the table and cannot be used again.

End-of-Round settlement

• The first player to reduce their hand to zero wins the round.

• The player left with the most cards is ranked lowest.

• Each player must pay score tokens to higher-ranking players based on the difference in their remaining cards.
