Dawn & Demons has arrived. This first expansion for Rise of the Necromancers gives you the ability to summon and control powerful demons, while it also adds new modes in the game! Now you are more powerful than ever!

A few weeks ago we announced that our Phoenix Game Line would be enriched with a second game in 2022 with Rise of the Necromancers, which we are publishing in partnership with Danish publisher Sore Loser Games. Before we get up close and personal with the game and its mechanisms, we wanted to remind you...

Mythic Games is proud to unite forces with Sore Loser Games to launch a crowdfunding campaign. Rise of the Necromancers and its expansion, Dawn & Demons, will fly the Phoenix Line’s colors.

The ultimate goal of every decision to include a theme in a game is to make the players feel like they have the experience you’re trying to provide. You want your players to think, “yes, I feel like I’m doing what the game tells me I’m doing.” We’ll explore three areas in which that sense can be achieved: using an appropriate theme, integrating theme with mechanics, and balancing theme with player experience.

Let us guide you through the Monsterpocalypse Kickstarter offer, to help you make your choice depending on your player profile, your desires, and your budget. 

In this new co-edition of Monsterpocalypse Board Game, we have compiled  the competitive AND cooperative game modes into the core box, even adding a brand-new single player mode! 

In this article, we are going to focus on the mechanics of a game turn, Monster Power Attacks, and combined unit attacks.

In this Monsterpocalypse Board Game article, we’ll dig deeper into the game system and introduce you to the special game mechanics that use three dice types.
