From BoardGameGeek
Before the birth of time itself, great abyssals patrolled the darkness, guarding the secrets of the unborn cosmos. Infernals held court in their fantastic ballrooms, connoisseurs of decadence and indulgence. And most unfathomable of all, the celestials shaped, guided, created and molded. In Primordial Secrets, players must send their obedient pawns to entreat these all-powerful titans for their aid and guidance, all while playing a strange and dangerous game of flamboyant intrigue. If a player's visitors have enough devotion, they will return with strong new allies, and with enough insight they could even uncover a dark secret guarded by a rival. Meanwhile, your deceitful hosts will try to lure the emissaries and party guests sent by your opponents to your sacrificial altar. The game ends when a player has collected six sacrifices or stolen six secrets, and the unborn universe shall be theirs alone to rule. -description from the publisher
