MERCS Miniatures Brings Us MYTH : A Cooperative Fantasy Game

March 26th - via: initiativetabletop.com
There are plenty of games out there where you get to play a hero, but many of them already have their own histories that you are continuing with. The makers of MERCS have announced a Kickstarter for a cooperative fantasy miniatures gamed called MYTH, in which you create your hero’s legend. Choosing from different hero classes, players dive head-first into a world that needs their help, and allow them to make names for themselves in this world in the process. Supporting 2-5 players, MYTH enables each hero the ability to take down minions and even enemy captains on their own with specialized decks, but become powerful allies when teamed up with other heroes to take down bosses that befall your party. (Read More)
