The goal in Mythoria is to conquer the game board by summoning seven creatures onto the board's seven slots. It is easy to learn, yet difficult to master. The game's round visual design and innovative gameplay mechanics make it stand out among other fantasy card games.
"Mythoria is based on a game prototype we created back in 2003," said Juha-Matti Pulkkinen, the founder of Random Star Games. "We decided to revisit this old game concept now that we have more education and game industry experience behind us. We made a lot of design changes and the end result is a compelling experience."
