About the game

Mythic Battles: Pantheon is a miniatures-driven combat game set in a post-apocalyptic ancient Greece, where fallen gods draft warbands of heroes, monsters, and mortal survivors to reclaim their lost power. Players use command cards, dice, and line-of-sight tactics to battle across scenario-driven encounters. Detailed miniatures bring the mythology to life, and the campaign structure lets players build toward becoming leader of a new Pantheon. Two to four players compete in team-based, tactical clashes.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli is consistently impressed by the sheer visual spectacle of this game's miniatures paired with genuinely deep tactical card-driven combat. It's a big investment of money and table space, but Greek mythology fans and miniatures gamers will find it richly rewarding.

What we like

  • Gorgeous, highly detailed miniatures.
  • Deep tactical card-driven combat system.
  • Strong Greek mythology theming throughout.
  • Scenario and campaign structure adds lasting variety.

Keep in mind

  • Significant component and miniature cost investment.
  • Moderate-to-high complexity and setup time.
  • Player elimination can leave someone out of the action early.

Who it's for

Miniatures and tactical combat fans, ages 14 and up, who enjoy scenario-driven team play will get the most from this for two to four players.
