About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to step into a scenario where Ancient Greece has become an epic battlefield! In Mythic Battles, the world is in shambles because Athena and Hades decided to settle their differences in the worst way possible: by summoning the greatest heroes and armies in history for an all-out war. You take on the role of one of these legendary generals, leading fantastic troops with the sole goal of crushing the competition and writing your name in history with the blood of the fallen.

The real game-changer here is the Building Battle Board (BBB) system. You know that feeling of playing a miniature wargame, but with the agility of a card game and the structure of a modern board game? That's exactly what this is. The game merges these three experiences to create something fluid and visually stunning. You don't just move pieces; you recruit your army, manage your cards to activate specific units, and roll the dice to decide who stays standing and who falls on the battlefield.

The base box is ready for action, featuring two complete armies that allow for matches with two or four players. Additionally, there is an initiation campaign for those who want to learn the ropes before diving into more complex confrontations. Best of all, the universe is expandable, with new armies and units that can be added to bring more depth to your mythological wars. If you love the idea of commanding legendary heroes in tactical combats, where activation strategy is just as important as luck with the dice, this game is your ideal choice. It's the perfect blend of tactics, fantasy, and that delightful chaos of seeing miniatures collide on a modular board that changes every single match.
