Myth Game Rules

IntroductionWelcome to the world of Myth. [add some more flavorful info about the game]

OverviewMyth is a cooperative tabletop game for 2 to 5 players. Each player takes on the role of a hero and must work together to overcome the darkness. Using a deck of cards unique to each hero, players explore the realm, battle evil monsters, and overcome dangerous traps in order to complete quests and acquire powerful new items and abilities.

Players are in full control of how they wish to play a game of Myth. They are creating stories with their heroes that can be told over the course of one play session, or their stories can span multiple game sessions in which they shape the realm through the quests they undertake. Unlike many other games, players make choices to determine the dangers they face throughout the game. Quests provide the structure for the game and present the players with their objectives, but even if the heroes fail a particular quest, their story can still continue.

Components[Graphics of all components, with names and quantities]

Reading this BookMyth is a complex game and it can be easy for new players to feel overwhelmed. This book is organized in a way to introduce players to the basic mechanics needed to start playing as quickly as possible. Most of the structured elements of gameplay are presented first, while many of the advanced concepts are detailed later in the book. In addition, there is a rules reference at the back of the book with important rules summarized in an easy to read format. This makes it easy for players to reference quickly while playing.

SetupTo begin a game of Myth, players should perform the following setup steps:

1. Prepare the Darkness: Lay the darkness board off to the side of the play area, but within view and reach of the players. Place a threat token on the “0” space of the darkness meter.

a. Shuffle “The Terror with 1000 Legs” darkness deck and place it on the draw space on the darkness board. Future Myth releases will include new Darkness decks, which can be used in place of or in addition to “The Terror with 1000 Legs” deck.

b. Place the monster cards and corresponding miniatures near the darkness board, within reach, along with the lair tokens. Gather the treasure counters and place them next to the darkness board, near the treasure section (lower right of the board).

2. Create the Token Supplies: Create individual token supplies for each of the following: status effect tokens, gold coins, potion tokens, and serendipity tokens.

3. Separate and Shuffle the Decks: Search through the item cards, remove each card with a quest icon in the top right corner, and set them aside. Separate the item cards by color (brown, white, green, and blue). Shuffle each of the white, green, and blue decks separately and place them facedown off to the side of the play area. Shuffle the merchant cards and place this deck facedown near the item decks.

4. Choose and Prepare Heroes: Each player chooses one hero to play as, then collects the corresponding hero token, hero cards, and any hero ability tokens that correspond to the chosen hero. Then, each player takes one hero board and places his hero token in the top left punched out opening of the hero board.

a. Each player removes each advanced hero card from his deck (there are 5 advanced hero cards in each hero deck in the core set). Advanced hero cards are designated by the green flame icon at the top of the card. Players will be able to earn these cards by completing story quests (see page XX).

b. Each player searches through the brown starting Item cards and collects one “Adventurer’s Gear” and each starting item that has his hero’s icon on the top right-hand corner of the card. Place each starting item on the appropriate equipment space of the hero board (primary, secondary, armor, helm, or accessory).

c. Each player places a threat counter on the “0” space of the threat meter at the top of his hero board. Then, each player places a vitality counter on a space of the vitality meter according to his hero’s starting vitality, found his hero token, (plus 1 from the “Adventurer’s Gear”).


The Heroes have been dispatched to investigate the Dawn’s Light cathedral and to discover the fate of Sir Archeron. From a distance the Heroes spot an overwhelming number of unusual looking Crawlers and Grubbers in front of the cathedral. Entry from that direction is impossible without an army. Luckily the Heroes know of a secret tunnel a short distance from their current location at the base of Gris’ Bosom, leading into the catacombs. Though the catacombs have long been abandoned and the air is now poisonous, they should yet offer a path inside.

As the Heroes approach the catacombs their eyes begin to water and their breath becomes more labored. The Heroes spot the same strange Grubbers and Crawlers surrounding a sinister portal which appears to be powered by two pedestals covered in runes. The ashen skinned creatures all appear to have glowing yellow eyes as they stand at the entrance to the catacombs, still as statues. An evil aura permeates the area…

Recently all manner of creatures have begun acting strangely in the Four Kingdoms. The people, especially those few learned in the arcane arts, whisper of demonic possession. For this reason the Order of the Rose dispatched Sir Archeron, the most righteous of their knights, to the Dawn’s Light cathedral at the base of Gris’ Bosom.

Hope grows faint as weeks have passed with no word from Sir Archeron.

Act 1: The Burning Will of Teraxas

Reference

1. Portals (Fire Realm Object): Fireborne minions appear from these Portals during the Spawn section of a Darkness Cycle. Portals cannot be attacked. For each pedestal powering a Portal 3 Fireborne spawn during the Spawn section of the Darkness Cycle. Portals are removed from the Realm Tile when all of the pedestals powering it are destroyed.

2. Pedestals (Pillar token): These have 3 Vitality and a TN of 4. Once a pedestal is destroyed it generates 2 AP.

3. The Burned Bodies token can be searched once per Hero by performing a NCA with no TN. This gives the Hero performing the NCA 1 draw from the treasure bag.

4. The Bookcase token can only be searched once by a single Hero performing a NCA TN 7. If a Hero succeeds he is rewarded with the blue item, Kira’s Tear.

5. The Table token can only be searched once by a single Hero performing a NCA TN 4+. If the Hero succeeds with a roll of 4+ he is rewarded with 2 Vitality potions. If the Hero succeeds with a roll of 7+ they also receive the green item, Ornate Chalice.

6. The Fountain token can only be used once by a single Hero performing a NCA with no TN. This restores six Vitality to the Hero performing the NCA.

7. The Torture Device token holds the Ally Sir Archeron. Heroes can perform NCA’s to free Sir Archeron from the Torture Device. If Ragog is in the same section of the combined tile as Sir Archeron the NCA TN is 7. If Ragog is not in the same section, the NCA TN is 5. Once Sir Archeron is freed, place his Ally token next to the Hero that freed him. He is now active and can assist the Heroes.

8. Sir Archeron token: Once Sir Archeron is freed he can move and perform actions as any Ally normally would. His damage is not reduced by the Avatar of the Fireborne ability.

1. Ignore all Realm Tile legends.

2. Treasure limit is reduced to 3 per Realm Tile.

3. Darkness Cards are not drawn from a Darkness deck this Act. The Fury of the Fireborne is in play each Darkness Cycle.

4. Any minion miniature can be used as Fireborne as they are possessed by Demons. Refer to the Fireborne Monster card for their stats.

5. As long as the Heroes are fighting in the first combined tile they suffer -1 to all die rolls.
