Portal of Heroes Coming Soon from Mayfair Games

Posted on by

portal-of-heroesFor centuries, peace reigned over the world of Molthar, until one day, the magician Ullfried destroyed the balance of Good and Evil with black magic. Darkness fell across the land, and the only hope remaining to the people of Molthar was an ancient prophecy that one day, when the time was right, a hero would come and free the world of darkness…

Portals provide ways for fantastic creatures and helpers to stand with you! Go to Molthar, collect magic pearls and build a team of allies from legends. Strengthen your power and fulfill the prophecy… the one who collects twelve Power Points saves the realm, becomes the true chosen one, and wins the game!

Out in January 2017, Portal of Heroes is a new card game from Mayfair Games by Johannes Schmidauer-König. The game for 2-5 players is for ages 10+ and takes about 45 minutes.

The game includes 56 pearl cards, 54 character cards, 5 player portals, and 1 rulebook and retails for $18.00.

Mayfair Announces Booty for August 2015

Posted on by

MFG4138-cTreasures of all types! But the hard part is not capturing the ship’s bounty, but dividing it fairly to the pirates! In Mayfair Games‘ Booty players take turns splitting each round’s booty into shares for the other players. Different types of treasures have different values, and of course there’s the hidden items to keep people guessing. Will you be the quartermaster to give everyone their fair share–but giving yourself the best share?

Each round, cards representing treasures are revealed. Some are worth points immediately, some items cancel others, some give you a chance, but not a guarantee, for a big payday. The quartermaster (a job that travels from player to player) divides the treasures into shares, and also includes the order of picking treasures in the next round. Balancing what you need, what others might want, and trying to get a little extra into your treasure pile is the key to success!

The building cards provide many special benefits that allow for a broad range of strategies every time you play.

The game will retail for $35 and is intended for people ages 10+ and meant for 2-6 players.

The game contains.

  • 108 cards
  • 54 player flag tiles (9 of each color)
  • 6 player turn order tiles
  • 6 turn selection tiles
  • 4 stock market markers
  • 1 quartermaster token
  • 1 Quartermaster token
  • 5 islands tiles
  • 12 legacy tiles
  • 1 rulebook
