Worshiping Board Game is set in an ancient time where gods still held power over this world. You play as one of four priests living and worshiping at the chapel of your local god. Each day your god requires a certain amount of worship going his way or he will be unimpressed and smite you. Each day you must produce enough food for your chapel to continue in it's practices. In addition to these things your god will also lay down challenges that your people must meet in order to continue worshiping him.

Worshiping Board Game is a co-op traitor game where you play as one of four priests who worship your god. Each day you as a team must gather enough food and give enough worship to your god. In addition to food and worship your team must also complete challenges laid down by your god. One priest (decided at random) will be a traitor who worships another god. He is trying to get the rest of the priests to fail in their devotion.

At the beginning of the game the players are randomly assigned a priest, each with different attributes that make life around the abbey easier in different areas(better worship rolls, better task rolls or better food rolls) they then take turns drafting unique priest abilities from a common set of cards until they have 3 each. These cards will be things like +1 to one dice roll each turn or re roll one dice per turn.

Each turn each player is given four action points which the player can choose to distribute among gathering food, worshiping or completing the tasks. These actions points will be distributed face down each day and the players must say what they are placing on the board. The traitor wins if the priests do not complete three tasks or starve for three days or do not provide enough worship to their god. The other priests win if they manage to vote the traitor out or if they complete five days of requirements.
