Ravin Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I bought this game from Rainbow Resource, and it's a huge hit with my DD. It is well-crafted with eye-pleasing artwork, with mythology that appears well researched providing the game's theme. We bought the Egyptian/Norse set. I expect our next order will include the Greek/Celtic set as well. Game play is similar to Munchkin, but with the twist that players must solve multiplication equations to declare attack/defense powers. An incorrect answer loses even if the attacker's card would win otherwise. It also encourages estimation for comparison when deciding which of an opponent's cards to attack, and addition and order of operations when attacking cards have weapon cards attached.

blondeviolin Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I've been eyeing these for a while. Thanks for your review! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 My kids love these too. I first bought them a couple years ago and they used them so much I had to buy a new set this last order I put into RR to replace the worn out, missing a few cards decks. My kids think they hate math, and think they can't multiply but do just fine with the game. To them it is like playing yu-gi-oh or pokemon or any of those games they like to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aras Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 This looks so cool! I'm going to try these out on my kids. Thanks for the review :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne J Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I have loved these for years. We have both sets and my oldest loves playing. Not only has he gained practice in multiplication, but he has become curious about the mythological tales behind the card characters. Great review--I hope more people learn about these!

Ravin Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 For those who have had them a while...what do you do with or make of the adventure cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisha Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Does anyone know of a video showing this being played? I bought it, and we just can't figure it out. I've read the rules multiple times, and my husband has, too. We've tried, but end up asking more questions about how to play than playing the game. So I think we're missing something.

Have you ever played Magic: The Gathering or Munchkin? I could probably talk my DD into making a video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspenSong Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Alibild.....I feel exactly the same way! I read the rules so many times and I actually did google for more explicit instructions and/or a video, but I just couldn't figure it out either! My kids ended up making up their own rules, but I feel like we were really missing something, and the game now sadly remains sitting on our shelf! Ravin...please let us know if you can talk your DD into making a video! It would be much appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisha Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Have you ever played Magic: The Gathering or Munchkin? I could probably talk my DD into making a video. No, haven't played either of those. I had my husband take a look, hoping it might be like some of the "boy" games I'm sure he played when he was younger, but he couldn't quite get it either. I would love if your DD could make me a video, that would be so very helpful. Alibild.....I feel exactly the same way!

I'm sure I could make up something, but hopefully we can see a video to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targhee Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I don't know of a video with instructions. We really like Mythmatical Battles, and found the game mechanic similar to other dueling card games. Perhaps if you watch a video on how to play Pokemon or Magic the Gathering it will give you a better idea (and I am certain there exist videos on those games). Just realize there are no associated energy/mana in Mythmatical Battles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
