Mythos is a competitive strategy card game for 2-4 players, where you build an army of gods, goddesses, and various mythical entities to battle against your opponent(s), gathering essence to power up to victory.
Each turn, you have the opportunity to draw cards into your hand, play cards into your party, and attack/use the abilities of your party. Some actions generate you essence, and gaining 20 essence is all you need to win the game!
Mythos has a heavy emphasis on emergent strategy and creating synergies. Curse opponents with the semi-demons Rakshasas, and then bring them crumbling down using a mighty earthquake with Geb. Grant your opponents ultimate misfortune by summoning the mischievous Yokai, Tengu, then feast on their remains with the ferocious Kali.
With over 100 cards to play with, there is truly no limit to the creativity and strategy you can express in this game!
