About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey folks! Ready to expand the woods and add more danger and adventure to The Mystic Wood? This expansion kit brings two new intrepid Knights, Astolfo and Marfisa, ready to brave the shadowy paths. Alongside them, new Encounter cards will catch you by surprise, testing your luck and strategy every step of the way. And the forest? It's grown! Now there are 63 tiles forming a larger, more unpredictable map each game. Prepare to explore 18 area cards, including charming cities, treacherous swamps, imposing mountains, and mysterious pools. But beware, because along the way you'll encounter 13 peculiar inhabitants: from the strong Bear and the wise Crone, through the mystical Griffin and the powerful Ogre, to legendary creatures like the Nymph, the Sorcerer, and the Sphinx. And don't forget the Mystic Thunder, a spell that can turn the game in your favor! With components including the two new knights and a variety of creatures and locations, this expansion promises more replayability and challenges for those who have already mastered the base game. It's the perfect choice for those who want to inject new life into their enchanted forest adventures, adding more variety and unpredictability without overcomplicating the rules.
