With 70 different starting setups and endless combinations, no two games are ever the same. Guaranteed replayability makes Mythologies a perfect match for families and seasoned players alike!

▪️ Mountain Goats: Legacy from Allplay has a limited release at Gen Con with a wider release set for September. From designers Alex Cutler, Michael Mihealsick, and Stefan Risthaus. This game plays 2-5 players and each session is about 20-45 minutes.

From the BGG:

Mountain Goats: Legacy combines dice rolling/combining and events into a longer version of Mountain Goats. But, after the first session, more and more hazards and gameplay tweaks show up. The dice now have a goat symbol — when rolled, you’ll get to use one of the unlocked player powers. These can change with every session! There’s also a new system called “Courage” that greatly affects your ability to mitigate luck and refine your dice rolls.

This game can be played as either a single session or a legacy game. As a legacy game, it is fully replayable and resettable. You will not be asked to destroy or modify components. The first session can also be combined with the original Mountain Goats game.

Each card has actions that let players build houses, gain ships, move, and gain new family members. The cards also have special abilities and sets of icons that represent your family’s expertise in various trades: cooking, carpentry, sewing, shoe-making, art, blacksmithing, and jewelry. Each game, you only select nine cards, and you’ll be faced with meaty choices each turn as you focus on trades, abilities, or the map.

When all players have 9 cards, the game ends. Players count victory points, and the player with the most points wins.
