Mysticana: Cave of Djinns

About this expansion

Mysticana: Cave of Djinns is a solo-only, 15-minute, six-card expansion for the Mysticana deck, challenging one player to solve six djinns’ riddles through careful card placement.

Arrange the six double-sided djinn cards in a loose pyramid shape. Each djinn has space around it for cards in the four orthogonal directions, creating a compact puzzle where every placement matters.

Each turn, draw two cards and play them both in sequence. Every djinn displays a specific arrangement of surrounding cards that must be fulfilled to solve its riddle. Successfully solving one grants an immediate, one-time bonus, while the solved djinn is then covered by an adjacent Mysticana card.

• Players: 1
• Play time: 15 minutes
• Components: 6 double-sided djinn cards
• Core mechanics: Solo card placement and action-chaining

Your goal is to complete all six riddles and escape the cave with your wits intact. The evolving puzzle rewards close attention as you decide where each drawn card can fit and how one action may support the next.

Mysticana: Cave of Djinns is part of Mysticana, an 18-card Foundation Deck featuring six ranks across three suits, or elements, with a rock-paper-scissors hierarchy. The base deck supports multiple core games, while small expansions add further ways to play. This 2024 entry fits into that flexible system with a focused solo challenge built around spatial arrangements, bonuses, and sequential decisions.
