About this board game
Myth: Dark Frontier is a fully cooperative board game for 2–4 players, with games lasting approximately 180 minutes. Take the role of an iconic Myth hero and defend Farrenroc, the last city of Light, from the forces of Darkness.
Heroes must travel through the lands beyond the city, fight invading forces, complete quests, and establish strongholds that provide crucial resources to Farrenroc. The surrounding land must be rallied to support the city before the enemy can destroy its influence and prepare a siege.
Each hero has a unique deck of five action cards. At the beginning of each round, players select three actions and assign them to the morning, day, and night time slots. Heroes and the enemy make their selections at the same time, after which the actions are shuffled and resolved one by one.
- Travel to move through the threatened lands.
- Battle invading forces and push back the Darkness.
- Encounter the challenges found along the way.
- Fortify positions and establish vital strongholds.
- Quest to advance the defense of Farrenroc.
Timing is critical: the order in which actions occur can determine whether a quest succeeds, an encounter is resolved, or an invading force is stopped. Players must discuss their plans and coordinate their action slots while Fate influences how effectively their decks perform.
Every game of Myth: Dark Frontier pits the heroes against a single army, featuring its own minions, captains, boss, and treacheries. As the enemy spreads across the land and methodically cripples Farrenroc’s influence, the players must combine high adventure, resource management, programmed action selection, and epic conquest in a desperate final defense.
