# Card Types - Boons

#### General Rules

1. Boons are specific card type for the Pantheon format, a multiplayer format of Grand Archive that is played between 3 to 4 players with different deck construction constraints compared to standard formats.
2. Boons are classified as either Lesser Boons or Greater Boons.
   1. Each player in a Pantheon match presents one of each Boon type face down in the Pantheon zone; each player should begin the match with one Lesser Boon and one Greater Boon face down in this zone.
3. Boons have a reserve cost and a speed stat (Slow or Fast) like Action cards.
4. Boons may be played by being "bestowed" rather than activated or materialized.
   1. While a boon is being bestowed, players can't have Opportunity until the boon has finished being bestowed.
   2. Bestowing a boon follows the same element restrictions as card activations and materializations.

{% hint style="success" %}
A boon being bestowed operates similarly to card activations with [Interdiction](/glossary/keywords-and-abilities.md#interdiction).
{% endhint %}

5. Bestowed boons remain in the Pantheon Zone and are not considered objects that may be targeted by activations, materializations, or abilities.
