Mythicals

About this board game

Mythicals is a tactical, risk-taking card-collecting game for exactly two players, with a play time of about 15 minutes. In a universe of celestial creatures, each being holds mastery over one of four elements: water, air, earth, or fire.

Before the sun rises, study the creatures and learn their secrets. During the game, players collect cards representing the same elements, seeking the combinations needed to claim favor tokens and build their mastery.

On your turn, choose how to gather cards. You can draw three cards from the pile, placing the remaining cards into the market, or select cards directly from the market. This gives each turn a meaningful choice between taking a chance and choosing from the cards already available.

When possible, discard a collection that matches the requirements of a favor token and take that token. The required collections can reward different kinds of sets, including combinations based on elements or values.

• Collect cards associated with water, air, earth, and fire.
• Choose between drawing from the pile or taking cards from the market.
• Claim favor tokens by meeting collection requirements.
• Compete to achieve the greatest mastery of the elements.

Favor token conditions may call for cards with the same elements and a flush, different elements, the same value, and other specified collections. Timing your choices and deciding when to commit a collection are central to the brief, tactical contest.

Released in 2025, Mythicals combines elemental set collection, market selection, and risk-taking in a focused game for two. When the game ends, the player with the greatest mastery of the elements wins.
