Rummy and mythology...

Within rummy-like card games, there is a one called canasta. Most mechanics that can be found in Mythic are directly inspired from rummy and above all, canasta.

As in rummy, players score points by melding cards from their hand and placing them face up in front of them on the table. And as in canasta, a player must reveal a sequence of 7 cards before going out.
In Mythic, every card represents a mythological creature : Griffin, Gorgon, Minotaur, etc. The sequences to be melded are called tribes ; tribes of Griffins, tribes of Gorgons, tribes of Minotaurs, etc.

Special cards

Creature cards used in Basic play can be associated to Power cards, used only in Advanced rules. Power cards allow for specific actions that slightly alter the game’s main principles.
Current edition is version 1.5. It includes 18 Power cards broken down into three categories: Corruption, Disruption and Protection.
