The Great Game is the constant struggle for dominance between the Chaos Gods. The Warp is not only home to the Gods, but it is also their battlefield. No God can ever win the Great Game, for if all other Warp Powers were obliterated, the Warp would become a still, unmoving mass and Chaos would no longer exist; so it is an eternal conflict. The full Great Game commands the almost complete attention of the Gods; a fraction of their attention will very rarely be fixed on the mortal realm, but only for an instant, as the Great Game is far more important.

偉大游戲是混沌諸神之間關(guān)于支配地位的不斷紛爭(zhēng)。亞空間是混沌諸神的家園，也是他們的戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)。沒有哪位混沌神曾在偉大游戲中勝出過，因?yàn)樘热羝渌麃喛臻g勢(shì)力都被泯滅的話，亞空間會(huì)變得靜止不動(dòng)，混沌也將不復(fù)存在，所以偉大領(lǐng)袖是一場(chǎng)永恒的沖突。整場(chǎng)偉大游戲占據(jù)了混沌諸神幾乎全部的注意力，他們的注意力很少會(huì)集中在凡人領(lǐng)域，它們只會(huì)暫時(shí)關(guān)注現(xiàn)實(shí)宇宙，偉大游戲比現(xiàn)實(shí)宇宙重要了太多。

The Chaos Gods will also rarely unite (roughly every few thousand years), if there is the need to do so - i.e., to thwart a potent threat or to take advantage of a rare occurrence. The rise of the Emperor of Mankind was such a time, and so the Gods engineered the wars of the Horus Heresy to bring about His downfall, distracting them for an instant from the Great Game. The Great Conflict that is played out amongst the Gods is also mirrored by their followers and worshipers in the material realm. This is what the Daemon Primarchs and other Great Chaos Champions are occupied with, fighting for the supremacy of their God, with untold power at their fingertips。

混沌諸神也會(huì)罕見地統(tǒng)一起來（大約每隔幾千年），如果有必要這樣做的話，例如，挫敗強(qiáng)大的威脅或利用難得的機(jī)會(huì)。帝皇的崛起就讓他們聯(lián)合起來了一次，混沌諸神操控了荷魯斯大叛亂來讓帝皇隕落，這也暫時(shí)分散了諸神對(duì)偉大游戲的注意力?，F(xiàn)實(shí)宇宙中混沌諸神的崇拜者和追隨者也會(huì)模仿諸神之間的偉大游戲。這就是惡魔原體和和其他偉大的混沌冠軍們所忙于的事務(wù)：憑借觸手可及的無上力量為諸神至高無上的地位而戰(zhàn)。
