About the game

What you do in a play session

In 2025, Mysticana got a solo expansion called Conjurer’s Tome, adding a new layer of strategy for anyone familiar with the base deck. If you love challenging your own logic with the 18‑card set, now you can test your ability to combine requirements in invocation cycles. Each circle holds two tomes, and to summon a titan you must satisfy two different criteria at once – a challenge that changes every round thanks to the moving tomes. The puzzle mechanic blends with the deck’s rock‑paper‑scissors hierarchy, producing unexpected combos.

The goal is simple: call four titans before time runs out. Each creature has a unique ability that can swing the game in your favor or, if misused, cost you dearly. The expansion adds no extra physical components – you just need a copy of the base deck, but the Conjurer’s Tome cards come as a printable PDF, making it an accessible Print & Play option. Language is a point to note: the cards are in English, so non‑English speakers may need a translated sheet or pre‑translated versions.

For those who enjoy solo games that demand critical thinking, Conjurer’s Tome offers a challenging and replayable experience. Each session presents a new set of requirements, ensuring replayability. If you already own the Mysticana deck and want something quick to play without buying a whole new game, this expansion could be exactly what you need.

A game lasts between 15 and 30 minutes, ideal for quick sessions. The set includes 24 tome cards, split into four invocation circles, plus a concise rule sheet. The art follows Mysticana’s minimalist style with neon touches evoking an alchemical lab vibe. The card design makes quick reading essential for maintaining pace in a solo game.

Because the expansion fits into the Wallet & Box Micro Games series, it keeps the micro‑game proposition that fits in any pocket. That makes it a great option for those looking for something playable on the go, in cafés, or at home without needing a large space.
