Living elements interweave throughout the realm. A water guardian extinguishes a roaring wildfire that leaves behind unrecognizably scorched earth. The seared avatar of that earth rises and consumes the water of a dozen seas. With infinite variations on their eternal cycle, no element can ever reign supreme.
Mysticana is a Foundation Deck: an 18-card deck that includes multiple core games using just the base cards with even more games added through small expansions. The deck features cards with 6 ranks across 3 suits (elements) which have a “rock-paper-scissors” hierarchy. While each game might make use of the deck’s design in different ways, the flexible foundation enables new games to fit in seamlessly alongside previous entries.
The base deck includes rules for three core games: Nine Perils, Sorcerers' Showdown, and The Path Ahead.
Arcane Artifacts is a multiplayer expansion game for the Mysticana deck. In this lightweight game of chance and skill, each player receives 2 cards and hopes to have the best combination for the round. After the initial deal, players may discard 1 of their cards to draw a replacement, then each player decides whether to stay in the play or resign for the round. Once all players have committed, a new card is flipped; this determines scoring for the round and also changes the value of each Avatar (rank ⟐). Players reveal their hands to see who holds the best score. Each round also features one of 12 Artifacts, which offer a bonus to the player's hand who meets their criteria most effectively. Rounds are cumulative, and the first player to win a round and have 30+ points is declared the final victor!
