Obelus is a lightweight, 2-player abstract strategy game, playable in 10-15 minutes. As a powerful Mensor, you will summon obelisk-shaped dice onto conflux cards, shift your obelisks according to the number showing, and banish your opponent’s obelisks. Banished obelisks may be reformed through clever maneuvering, creating a rift that prevents further summoning on that conflux. You win when your opponent cannot legally summon or shift an obelisk!
