Mythic Games Bringing Joan of Arc Game To Gen Con 50

Mythic Games, creators and co-publishers with Monolith of the Mythic Battles: Pantheon Board Game, announce today the studio’s return to Gen Con (August 17 – 20, Indianapolis) to debut their latest creation, the Time of Legends: Joan of Arc board game. Gen Con attendees will be the first in North America to play Joan of Arc, as well as play the forthcoming Mythic Battles: Pantheon Board Game from last year’s multi-million dollar Kickstarter.

The Time of Legends: Joan of Arc board game centers on Joan of Arc’s heroic tales during the 100 Years War, a medieval universe of war, conspiracy and betrayal, where myths mix with reality. Throughout the game, the beliefs of the era become real, where witches, werewolves, dragons, devils, angels and other mythical creatures mingle with knights, inquisitors and peasants in a game environment that spans roleplaying in a small village to a mass battle involving dozens of knights, warriors and terrain.

“We’ve created a truly unique miniatures board game experience by mixing unusually small miniatures with spectacular 3D terrain and what we think is the biggest miniature to take over the tabletop – our incredible dragon with its massive 21-inch wing span,” says Leonidas Vesperini, Mythic Games’ project manager. “Time of Legends: Joan of Arc brings players to a time of epic battles and fantastic myths, where history meets magic, centered on the original wonder woman. We can’t wait to demo the game at Gen Con 50.”

Time of Legends: Joan of Arc is designed to play through in less than an hour with an unusual small scale of 15mm plastic figures with unprecedented detail and definition. This size allows for spectacular scale effects with massive armies for each player, 3D environmental pieces such as houses, church, bridges, trees and castles, and gigantic creatures. While supplies last, attendees who demo Joan of Arc in the Mythic Games booth (#3063) will receive a free collectible button.

Time of Legends: Joan of Arc launches on Kickstarter October 10, 2017. Follow Mythic Games on Facebook for announcements and other promotions.

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
