Mythical Dice is a quick trick-taking game from IELLO

Mythical Dice

Designed by Manfred Reindl, Mythical Dice is a fun and quick trick-taking game!

The Minotaur, deep in his labyrinth… Do you know how he kills time while waiting for his next prey? Well, he plays dice, again and again!

Do you dare join him? A trick-taking game… with dice!

Guess how many tricks you’ll win (or not!) at the start of each round. Guess right, and you’ll become the labyrinth champion!

The game includes seven types of dice: minotaurs, griffins, mermaids and four types of numerical dice. The game lasts from 6 to 8 rounds, depending on the number of players, and at each turn each player draws from the bag a number of dice equal to the current hand, e.g. five dice for the fifth hand, then places them behind his or her folding screen. After collecting their dice, each player simultaneously bids the number of tricks they think they can win during the round.

  • 3-6 players / 30 minutes / ages 8+
  • Mechanics: Dice Rolling, Trick Taking
  • MSRP: $24.99
  • Release date: May 2025
