Mythic Mischief (2022)

About this game

In Mythic Mischief, you play as a faction of Mythic Manor students competing to get as many of the other students caught by the Tomekeeper as you can without getting caught yourself. Each Faction has its own unique set of abilities to move around the board, move the other factions into the path of the Tomekeeper, and even alter the course of the Tomekeeper by moving bookshelves. Players are able to upgrade their Faction’s abilities throughout the game by collecting powerful Tomes from around the library. The winner is the first Team to score 10 Mischief Points or the Team with the most points when the Tomekeeper finishes returning all of the Tomes after lunch! —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
