Description

Mythos is a quick and simple card game for two players that packs a punch when it comes to strategy and bluffing. Designed by Bruno Faidutti, Hayato Kisaragi, and Nobuaki Takerube, this 1999 game may have a straightforward rule set, but it's full of subtle complexities that will keep you on your toes. The game is played in just 15 minutes, making it the perfect filler game for any game night. The gameplay is based on the classic game of War, but with a few clever twists. Players compete in pairs, with each player playing a card from a different mythology - and there are six to choose from, making for 15 possible duels. The cards are played in pairs, with the first card revealed, followed by a second card that adds to the value of the first. Some cards also have special effects, adding an extra layer of strategy and bluffing to the game. With its unique blend of tactics and deception, Mythos is a game that will keep you coming back for more, as you try to outmaneuver your opponent and claim victory in this battle of the gods.
