How Does it Play?
“The choices on your playsheet are compelling, and the card-slotting mechanic is easily the strongest point of the game.” – Ludicrous Gaming
You play as yourself suddenly granted incredible and unstable abilities. Your powers, weapons, and flaws change every few turns, forcing you to constantly adapt.
You’ll be fighting in your hometown, defending your school from monsters, and saving your world from utter destruction. Once you master your powers and your cards, then you will Be The Hero!
“Mythic Mortals has a very elegant system for constantly shifting your powers. Each round of combat feels fresh and fun.” - James D’Amato
“Oh, that’s cool!” - repeated several times by Satine Phoenix playing as The Hunter
“BEHOLD THE MYTHIC POWER OF THE BREWER!” - wheeltreemegan

“I like the super easy premise. Helps people jump in.” - /u/Larmt0r
“Most of my family played this at Storm-Con 2015. I am obsessed! It was supper easy to work with. We were able to fill a couple of hours with many different adventures. This system is perfect not only for us busy gamers who no longer have the time for the loooong process of character creation and gaming, but is can be worked for great little bonding adventures that a gaming family can do together.” - Chelsey
