About the game
What you do in a play session
In Mirage, get ready for a fascinating journey where the desert portals are constantly shifting, altering destinations with every step. Your mission is to explore stunning landscapes and encounter a variety of desert animals, from agile gazelles and cunning fennec foxes to imposing vultures and treacherous scorpions. This is a turn-based game where the primary goal is to collect 10 cards, seeking the perfect combination to maximize your final score. But be warned, your next card choice isn't free: it directly depends on the card you just picked, creating a chain of strategic decisions that impact your entire adventure. Every decision, every destination, from the golden dunes to the refreshing oases, shapes the rest of your journey. Remember, in Mirage, the most important thing isn't just reaching your final destination, but rather the memories and collections you build along the way. It's a race against time and your opponents' choices to see who can assemble the most valuable and harmonious collection.
