Description

In Mythos, a card game set in H.P Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, you play as an investigator trying to complete stories without losing your sanity. With a deck of cards and a brisk pace, you'll draw 13 cards and take turns playing one at a time, trying to stock your deck with the right cards to fulfill story requirements. You'll visit locations, cast spells, summon monsters, and play allies to score points and gain sanity. As you navigate the game, you'll encounter a variety of cards, including locations, allies, monsters, and events, all set in a Lovecraftian atmosphere. With the ability to play nasty phobias and events on your opponents, interaction is high and strategy is key. Whether playing solo or with up to 9 friends, Mythos offers a thrilling adventure that's easy to learn but challenging to master, making it a great experience for fans of horror and adventure games.
