In GodZ, players take control of one of the deities of the world of Super Fantasy: Ugly Snouts Assault. The game takes place on a modular, hexed board that is built up by players as the game proceeds. Victory can be achieved in different ways: controlling regions, conquering cities, fighting, building, or being adored by huge amounts of followers.

The heart of the game is the action system, based on a mechanism that allows players to perform miracles and actions, and even to directly score points, choosing their priorities carefully each turn: the more powerful their actions, the fewer points they will score when their followers pray.
