About the game

What you do in a play session

In Mythwind, you and your friends embark on a cooperative adventure to build a new home in a magical valley full of sprites. Each player takes on a unique role with abilities ranging from resource management to city building and exploration. The game is a sandbox experience, where you define your own goals and pace, without a rigid win condition. As seasons change, the valley evolves, and your town grows and reacts to your actions. It's a persistent game: start a session, and when you want to stop, just pack everything into the included organizer trays to continue where you left off later. The progression of your character and your town is the focus, creating a story that evolves over time. With mechanics like Worker Placement (using dice!), asymmetric powers, and plenty of storytelling, Mythwind offers an immersive and ever-developing experience. Perfect for those who enjoy cooperative games with a touch of RPG and a world that feels alive, ready to be explored and shaped by you.
