MythicArena is nearing completion!

The Magocracy, the magical ruling class of the world, holds a regular gladiatorial-style event in the colluseum known as the MythicArena. People gather from all over the world to see chosen combatants wage battle, often to the death, for their amusement and gambling pleasure.

Not to be confused with the plethora of CCGs saturating the market, MythicArena is a standalone card game for 2 to 6 players. The game involves many aspects of player interaction, and several expansions are already in the works.

Overview:

Each player builds a “team” of combatants, from a pool of various types of characters and creatures. Each has its own strengths and abilities, and fills a niche that can greatly impact game strategy.

Gameplay involves playing cards, based on each combatant's abilities, to eliminate all opponents in the arena. Cards include attacks and defenses, Blackspell and Whitespell cards (”dark” and “light” magic), and a variety of potions and add-ons. The battle doesn't end until one player's “party” stands alone, victorious.

Players can cut deals with each other, introducing a very rich negotiation aspect into the game, and can also run to the Shop to purchase specific cards.

Characters:

MythicArena has over twenty characters to choose from, in parties of varying sizes, with additional characters planned for upcoming expansions.

Fighter - The Fighter is a human versed in the use of armor, with great toughness and high damage-dealing potential.

Wizard - The masked Wizard, a member of the ruling Magocracy, enters the arena to prove the superiority of magic. Using Blackspell to great effect, he can dominate the battlefield with his arcane prowess.

Priestess - The quintessential Whitespell wielder, the Priestess is the primary healer, with the ability to wear armor and deal damage when necessary.

Mage - The Mage combines elements of both the FIghter and Wizard, and can use Whitespell as well. A well-rounded character, he fills the roles of combatant, offensive magician, and healer.

Werewolf - This mighty creature is a powerful warrior, almost unstoppable on the battlefield. Able to deal and sustain incredible damage, his strength is often his weakness, in that he quickly becomes the target of all other combatants in the arena.

Robot - Vestige of a forgotten era, the Robot enters the arena not by choice. His is durable, and equipped with special weapons that enable him to deal damage and also use fire in his attacks. As a non-living “creature,” poison has no effect on his mechanical systems.

History:

MythicArena was conceived in 1994 under a different name, with slightly different rules. Originally, it combined elements of “Uno” with RPG-style battle mechanics to create a unique and engaging game experience. After extensinve testing and reworking, the game now stands in its final incarnation. Stay tuned for more updates!
