Myth & Goal (2022)

Myth & Goal is a miniatures board game of fantasy football for 1-2 players, designed by James Hewitt and Sophie Williams. In the game, each player takes control of one of many unique teams defined by classic fantasy races, such as elves, dwarves, and orcs, and faces off against each other in a sport inspired by American football. While each team features players with their own strengths and weaknesses, players also choose a focus for their team that further defines how that team functions in the game.

Players use actions with their players to attempt to either throw the ball through the goal for points, or have a player run it into the goal for even more points. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Using streamlined rules, custom dice, and highly detailed plastic miniatures, Myth & Goal delivers an exciting and fast paced fantasy football experience that players won’t find anywhere else. The modular team creation ensures that every player can easily find their desired playstyle combined with their favorite classic fantasy races. Players can also use the free agent rules to build their own custom all-star teams using different combinations of players from all available teams. In addition, players can watch their teams grow and develop using the league rules or practice their strategy on their own against an AI team using the solo game rules, both included in the core game.
