{"product_id":"mythicals","title":"Mythicals","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMaster the Elements Before Dawn Breaks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery turn in Mythicals carries a quiet tension: push forward and claim another celestial creature, or hold back and protect what you've already built. It's a game that rewards instinct as much as strategy — the kind of two-player experience where a single well-timed decision can swing the entire match. The theme isn't just window dressing here. These elemental creatures feel like they matter, and building your grip over water, air, earth, and fire gives each game a satisfying arc from first card to final score.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Repos Production — the publisher behind the beloved \u003cem\u003e7 Wonders\u003c\/em\u003e series — Mythicals is a tactical card-collecting game set in a world of celestial creatures, each bound to one of the four classical elements. Before the sun rises, players study these creatures and plan their approach. Over the course of a short, sharp game, you'll collect cards, manage risk, and work to achieve elemental dominance across all four suits. The player who best balances their mastery of the elements when the game ends wins — but getting there means reading your opponent as closely as you read the cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mechanics are clean and accessible: on your turn, you're constantly weighing risk against reward, deciding how far to push before the moment turns against you. It plays in 20 to 30 minutes, making it fast enough for a lunch break but deep enough for a proper sit-down session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMythicals is built for exactly two players — no more, no less — making it a strong pick for couples, siblings, or anyone looking for a dedicated head-to-head game. The age recommendation starts at 8, and the rules are easy enough to teach in a few minutes, so it works well as an introduction to strategy games for younger players while still offering enough tactical depth to keep experienced gamers engaged. At 20 to 30 minutes per game, it sits firmly in the light category — something you can play twice in an evening without the second session feeling like homework.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production quality punches above its weight. The 49 cards come with a gold foil effect that makes the artwork feel genuinely premium — and the artwork itself is worth calling out: richly illustrated celestial creatures that bring the elemental theme to life across every card. The double-layer board keeps things tidy during play, and the 16 wooden tokens add a tactile dimension that card-only games often miss. It's a compact box that delivers a surprisingly polished table presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRepos Production\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlayers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Player Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAge Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlay Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20–30 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGame Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLanguage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnglish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Repos Production","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44667836432472,"sku":"MYT-EN01","price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4980\/8728\/files\/0_ffdedee1-03d5-4769-925e-35c388437134.webp?v=1787854386","url":"https:\/\/borealgaming.com\/products\/mythicals","provider":"Boreal Gaming \u0026 Cards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
