The four Deities of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air are entangled in a struggle for supremacy in which there can be only one winner. However, the struggle is not fought by themselves but rather through their followers. As followers meet, different faiths clash until a fragile alliance is formed and an icon is worshipped. As worshippers meet, different icons clash until the surviving followers find a new icon to worship. Eventually, only one Deity will be worshipped and obtain supremacy.

Iconoclasm is a simple and yet tactically deep game where the players take turns to place follower tokens to the game board. Once formed in groups of seven, an icon of the majority of the followers is placed in the group. However, as more groups are formed, the icons will clash, leaving one group destroyed and the other weakened. You can prepare for the clash by obtaining support from other Deities but so can your opponents. At the end, only the strongest group will prevail and one Deity become the one and only. Will it be your Deity or will your followers be eliminated from the world? Play Iconoclasm and find out!

My name is Nicholas Hjelmberg and I am a hobby gamer since childhood. Starting with classic games like chess and RISK, I moved on to explore "American" games like Diplomacy and Civilization and then "Euro games" like Settlers and Tigris & Euphrates. Combining my game experience with my history interest and IT and quality profession, I have entered the exciting world of board game design and production.
