About the game
What you do in a play session
Imagine that Hera, fed up with Zeus' infidelities, decided to take revenge by releasing the Titans upon Mount Olympus. The result? A clash so colossal that the Earth literally shattered. The blast was so powerful that the weakest gods were obliterated into dust, and even the strongest lost most of their powers, becoming mere shadows of their former selves. Now, Greece is a post-apocalyptic wasteland where Athens burns and Crete has sunk beneath the waves. But here's the catch: fragments of divinity are scattered across the broken world, and whoever collects enough of them can regain their grandeur and lead a new Pantheon.
In Mythic Battles: Pantheon, you step into the shoes of one of these weakened gods. Since you can't do everything alone, you summon mortal survivors, legendary heroes, and vicious monsters to form your warband. The game is an intense tactical combat where you use command cards to move your units, attack, and attempt to capture those power shards. The tension is high as you manage your hand of cards and calculate line of sight to avoid being caught off guard. It's essentially a mythological 'Battle Royale' with stunning miniatures, where recruitment strategy and battlefield positioning determine who will return to omnipotence and who will remain a memory of the past. Prepare your army, choose your god, and dive into the fray in a setting where Olympus is now nothing more than ashes and forgotten glory.
