A spa for mythical creatures, inspired by the world of Spirited Away
In Mythic Baths, players take on the role of new employees at a bathhouse for mythical creatures. Their job: gather ingredients for baths, complete treatments, give nourishment, and clean the baths to welcome new, and potentially troublesome, guests.
Each mythic guest arrives with a set of ingredient requirements that must be met to complete their treatment. Treating guests and cleaning baths earns amber, the game's victory currency: more complicated treatments earn more, and completing a treatment exactly rewards players with valuable tips.
Gathering, treating, and cleaning: the actions of each turn
Each turn in Mythic Baths, players take one main action and possibly one bonus action, in any order of their choice. Main actions let players gather an ingredient card, nourish a guest to secure exclusive rights to treat them and earn their favour, treat a guest with the required ingredients, or clean vacated baths to earn amber and welcome new guests.
Active favour tokens, earned by nourishing then treating a guest, can be used to add minor bonuses to a main action. The game ends when a player has treated a set number of guests, scaled to the player count; the player with the most amber wins.
