About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, board game enthusiasts! If you're a fan of Mythwind and looking to spice up your adventures, this mini-expansion is just for you! Launched as a special bonus during a crowdfunding campaign, "Secret Lives of Sprites" introduces two new buddies to your game: Fyxx and Bouque. They are Sprites, and the idea is that you can encounter them while exploring the game world.

Each Sprite card is a work of art, featuring beautiful illustrations and fun descriptors that add extra charm. And they're not just for show! On the back of each card, there are three different abilities ready to be used. When you draw one of these Sprite cards, the fun is guaranteed: you'll roll two dice, and depending on the outcome, you might gain some cool benefits. It's a fantastic way to add an element of surprise and rewards without overcomplicating the rules.

This expansion is perfect for those who already love the Mythwind experience and want a little more magic and interactivity. It integrates seamlessly with the base game, adding new layers of discovery and world interaction. Even though it's a small expansion, its impact on the overall experience is noticeable, bringing more life and unpredictability to your game sessions. Get ready to meet the Sprites and see how they can change the course of your adventure!
