The lands of Grimiron have seen centuries of war and strife—kingdoms rising and falling as conquest for power

drove every
race of people to violence. It wasn’t until the mysterious disciples of Repheen claimed dominion over Grimiron that war was
finally put to an end. Repheen was the goddess of justice and peace, and her mortal followers took control of Pelnor, the holy
citadel at the heart of Grimiron. From there, Queen Avia spread her rule quickly and quelled the endless wars by introducing
a contest of champions that struck at the very heart of the competitive nature of mortals.

Thus, mythball was born.

important! Players cannot move diagonally between areas, and when
you count the Range for a throw, you cannot count diagonally.
THE BALL
There is always a single Ball in play. At the start of a Period is it carried
by a player on the Aggressor team, and it can change hands during
play. The teams score points by throwing the Ball through the opposing
team’s Goal, or running it into the opposing team’s Bastion.
During play, a Player can be given possession of the Ball. Clip the Ball
token into the slot on the miniature’s base ring to show this. If no one is
carrying the Ball, it is Loose. Place it flat in the area.

The Game Board
The game board features the field where the Contest takes place, and is overlaid with several gameplay elements which hold cards and track
game information. This page explains all of the board elements, which are illustrated and annotated on the next page.

FIELD ELEMENTS
The playing field is split into rectangular Areas, the boundaries of which
are marked by changes in grass colour, white lines and white crosses. The
Areas are spread over nine Rows. Players always occupy a single Area,
and up to two Players from each team can share the same Area (up to
four players in total).
The field is split into two Halves, one for each team, separated by the
Midfield Row. At either end of the field are the teams’ Gatehouses.
Atop each one sits their team’s Goal, where the opposing team will be
trying to throw the ball.
At each team’s edge of the field, behind their Gatehouse, is a special
Row called their Bastion. The other team can run the ball into this Row
to score points. The area directly in front of the Goal is the Gate. Note
that due to the Gatehouse, the central Bastion area does not count as
being adjacent to the neighbouring Gate.
Each team’s Gatehouse is bound with powerful warding spells; when a
team Scores, any of its players who are in the opposing team’s Gate or
Bastion are teleported back to their Encampment.
 Player Classes
Each Mythball player trains according to a specific set of
TEAM ELEMENTS traditions, known as Player Classes. Each class specialises in

Setting Up a Contest
To set up for a game of Myth & Goal, follow these steps.

Designer’s Note: Kickstarter Demo

If you’re using the Kickstarter Demo file on Tabletop
Simulator, the game is already set up and ready to go.
If you like, you can skip to page 10 and start the first
Period - the Aggressor takes the first turn.

1. Each Manager chooses a Team Faction Card A / A and a Focus

Card B / B for their team, and takes set of eight Player Cards C / C
and miniatures D / D that match their Faction.
They also take a Time Out Marker E / E , which they place on
their Faction Card. Return all unused Team Faction Cards, Focus
Cards, Player Cards and Miniatures to the box.
2. Each Manager rolls three Check Dice, and totals the number of hit
icons they have rolled. Roll again in the case of a tie. The Manager
who scores the highest chooses whether they will be the Home
team or the Away team. (The Home Team will be the Aggressor in
the first Period.)
The Home Manager takes the red Base Clips and Check Dice F ,
and the orange Gambit Die G . The Away Manager takes the blue
Base Clips and Check Dice F , and the orange Gambit Die G .
3. Each Manager takes one of the Tactics Decks and removes all
cards which have a Set Tag that is not shown on either their
Faction Card or Focus Card. Note that there are three Generic
cards, without a tag, which are always left in the deck. Do not
shuffle the deck. Return any unused cards to the game box.
Note that if the same tag appears on a team’s Faction Card and
Focus Card, the team is Dedicated, and will receive a bonus later.
4. Unfold the board and place it in the middle of the playing area.
One short edge should be facing each Manager, with the red
Home side facing the Manager of the Home team. Each player
places their Focus Card into its slot at their end of the board.
5. Place the First Period Hourglass marker on the “1” space of the
Contest Timer H . Place both Score Markers on the 0 space of
the Score Tracker I .
You are now ready to start the first Period.

Designer’s Note: Keeping It Simple

If this is your first time playing, we recommend
ignoring the Team Focus and Tactics cards. Once
you’ve learned the core rules of the game, you’ll find
it easier to choose them, and to figure out the best
way to use them.
Setting Up
For a Period
Each of the Contest’s three Periods starts the same way, by following
these steps.
1. Determine which team is the Aggressor. This is the Home team in
the first Period, the Away team in the second Period, and the team
with the lowest score in the third Period (or the Away team, in the
case of a tie.) Note that the Period tokens are colour-coded as a
reminder.
2. The Manager of the Aggressors picks five of their Players to form
their Squad, and places their cards into their five Squad Slots.
Any remaining players are placed in their Bench slots. If a team
has fewer than five players remaining, the Manager must put all of
them into their Squad slots.
In the first Period, make sure each Player Card has its Fresh side
face-up. In subsequent Periods, Players may start with their
Exhausted side face-up if they haven’t spent time on the Bench.
3. The Manager of the Aggressors sets up the five miniatures for their
Squad in their half of the field, following these rules:
a. No area can contain more than two players.
b. No players can be set up in the Bastion.
Then they place the Miniatures for any players in their Bench slots
on their team’s Encampment.
4. The Manager of the Aggressors gives the Ball to one of their Players,
clipping it into their base ring to show that they are carrying it.
5. The Manager of the Defenders repeats steps 2 and 3 for their own
team.
6. Each Manager chooses two Tactics Cards from their Tactics Deck,
and takes them into their hand and placing the rest of the deck
next to their playing area J / J .
If the team is Dedicated (that is, the same Tag appears on both
their Team Faction Card and their Focus card), they can choose
three Tactics Cards instead. However, they will only be able to use
two of them in the Period, as described on page 14.
7. The Period starts; the Aggressors take the first Team Turn, as
described below.

Designer’s Note: Quickstart Setups

The reverse of each Team Faction card shows two
Quickstart Setups for the team, one for when
they are the Aggressor and one when they are the
Defender. Setting up your team is a chance to react to
your opponent’s choice of Faction and Focus, and (if
you’re the Defender) how they’ve set up; however,
if you just want to get into the action, the Quickstart
Setups let you do this. This makes them ideal for your
first game; don’t worry about trying to figure out all
of the Classes, just follow the Quickstart Setup and
you can start playing straight away.
CORE CONCEPTS
This section lists some of the mechanics that lie at the heart of Myth & Goal.

ACTION TESTS
During many Actions, there are points where the outcome is uncertain and will depend on the abilities of the Players involved. When this is
the case, the rules will call for an Action Test, which takes the form of an opposed dice roll. The Action’s rules will show a Test Chart, which
has two parts: the upper part details how many dice each player rolls, while the lower part shows the potential outcomes of the Test.
Here’s an example Test Chart, showing the test that is made when a Player attempts to Evade an opponent:

During an Action Test, the Active Manager will roll a number of dice based on one of the Active Player’s Ability Ratings; the Opposing Manager
will roll a number of dice based on the Ability Rating of a specific player in their team, as dictated by the Action rules (this may be the target of
the Action, or a Player who is attempting to prevent the Action.)
To make an Action Test, follow these steps:
1. The Active Manager gathers their Dice Pool as follows: 3. Both Managers roll their pools.
• Refer to the “Active Player” row of the Test Chart. 4. For each Block Symbol rolled by the Opposing Manager, disregard

their dice pool to 0 dice.
5. Look up the Outcome in the lower part of the test chart, and
2. The Opposing Manager gathers their Dice Pool as follows: resolve the instructions.
• Refer to the “Resisting Player” row of the Test Chart.
• Take a number of Check Dice equal to the Resisting Player’s
rating in the Ability that is shown.
• Increase or decrease the number of Check Dice according to
the “Modifiers” column.
• If they wish, the Opposing Manager can also add the Gambit
Die (see below). They can do this even if a modifier has reduced
their dice pool to 0 dice.
 Example of Play
In this example, it is the Durnhold Anvils’ turn. Fjora
Silvervane is making a Run action, leaving an area that
contains a standing Enemy player, so she needs to Evade.
This triggers an Action Test.
The Opposing Manager declares that Hron the Howler will
resist the Action, and each player gathers their dice pool.
The Anvils player looks at the “Active Player” row of the
chart, and sees that they will use Fjora’s Agility rating of
3, with no modifiers as they do not have any Supporting
Player in the area. They gather three Check Dice, and
decide not to add the Gambit Die. The Ruffians manager
checks the Chart and gathers three Check Dice due to
Hron’s Resolve of 3, plus one more because Gultran is a
supporting player. Then they add the Gambit Die, as they
really don’t want Fjora getting away! They roll…
The Active Manager has scores 3 Hits in total, but the
Opposing Manager has scored three Blocks. This results in
a Check Score of 0: a Failure outcome. Fjora’s Action is over,
and the Active Manager must choose to either give her a
Fatigue token, or place her Prone…

INFRACTIONS
The rules of Mythball are rigorously enforced, and even the most well-
intentioned Player slips up occasionally. When a Player breaks a rule,
they are punished with an Infraction. This usually happens when a
Manager adds the Gambit die to an Action Test, but can also happen
as the result of some Tactics Cards.
The first time a Player takes an Infraction, place a
Warning Token on their Player Card.

miniature from the board, and remove their Player Card from its Squad

and Player Card to one side; they will take no further part in the Contest.
Note that Warning and Final Warning tokens stay on a Player’s card until
the end of a contest, unless a special rule specifically allows a Manager
to remove them.

Possible Infractions
Some effects or special Actions (usually on Tactics Cards) instruct you
to roll for a Possible Infraction for a Player. After resolving the Action,
roll a Gambit Die; if an Infraction Symbol is rolled, the Player takes
an Infraction, even if they are the Active Player and already took one
during this Action. Ignore any Hit , Block and Critical symbols.
TEAM TURNS

1 TIME OUT
If the Manager of the Active Team still has their Time Out marker on
their Faction Card, they may choose to call a Time Out, magically
freezing the action on the field while they make an adjustment to their
squad and strategy.
Free Actions
Some rules (especially Tactics Cards) allow Players to make Free Actions.

any more this turn.
Evading
If the Active Manager wishes to move the Active Player out of an area that contains any standing Opposing Players, the Active Player must first Evade.
Make an Action Test. The Opposing Manager chooses the Resisting Player; they must be standing in the same area.

Some rules allow a Player to “Evade Automatically”. No roll is made; they are assumed to have achieved a Full Success.

Leaving the Encampment

A Player in the Squad who is not currently Serving
a Penalty (see page 14) can make a Run action to
teleport back to the field. For their first Move, the
Active Manager places them in one of the areas to
either side of their team’s Gate, as shown to the right.
If a Prone Player has to Make Way (see page 16) as
a result of this first Move, they are moved into their
team's Encampment.

TACKLE ( )
The Active Manager chooses a standing Opposing Player in the same area as the Active Player to be the Target. Make an Action Test.
The Target is the Resisting Player.

Note that if a Partial Success is scored and the Fatigue that the target takes causes them to become Exhausted, they are immediately placed Prone.
 PASS ( )
The Active Manager chooses a friendly Player in a different area to the Active Player, who is not standing in either team’s Bastion.
This is the Target. Determine the Path and Range to the target’s area as described on the next page.
Make an Action Test. The Opposing Manager may choose a Resisting Player; they must be standing in the Active Player’s area, the
Target’s area, or any area along the throw’s Path (see below).

SHOOT ( )
Determine the Path and Range to the opposing team’s Goal, treating it as being located in the central area of the opposing team’s Bastion.
Make an Action Test. The Opposing Manager may choose a Resisting Player; they must be standing in the Active Player’s area, the
Opposing Team’s Gate, or any area along the throw’s Path (see below).
Path and Range
During a Pass or Shoot action, the Active Manager must
determine the Path and Range of the throw.
To determine the Path, imagine that the Active Player is
making a Run action, and is trying to reach the target area
(the area containing the Target Player, or the central area
of the opposing team’s Bastion) in the minimum number
of Moves possible. Assume, in this case, that they can
move through the Gatehouse. They must attempt to move
in as straight a line as possible.
Each area that the Active Player could move into is
counted as part of the throw’s Path; unless the Throw is a
straight line, there will be multiple options, and they are
all counted. The number of moves it would take to get to
the target area is the Range.
In both examples here, the yellow line is a straight
line between Active Player and Target (both from
the Westarch Ruffians) and the pink arrows represent
possible moves – four in the first example, and five in the
second. The Anvils players shown are all in the Path of the
throw, and so are in a position to Resist the action; if there
were Anvils players in the areas with faded blue circles,
they would not be in the Path, and would not be able to
Resist.

Overview
Myth & Goal can be played by a single Manager, who pits their wits and
strategy against a team controlled by the mystical Arcane Intelligence –
or A.I. for short.
Solo mode is fully modular with the other modes of play. You can play
a Solo Exhibition, include one or more A.I. Teams in a League, or play
through a Ladder Challenge which sees your team facing off against a
succession of increasingly tough A.I. opponents.
When you play against an A.I. Team, you use your team exactly as
you would if you were playing against a human opponent. During BEHAVIOUR DECKS

DETERMINING THE HOME TEAM

Each A.I. Team has a preference of whether they will start as the
Aggressor or Defender in the first Period. This is shown at the top
of their Strategy Boards (one will say “this is the team’s preference in
the first Period”). In step 2 of Setting Up a Contest, roll three dice; if
you score three or more Hit symbols, you can choose whether to be
the Home or Away team. If you score two or fewer, the A.I. Team’s
Preference dictates who is the Home team (if their preference is to be
the Aggressor in the first period, they are the Home team; otherwise,
RISK GAUGE & RISK TOKEN they are the Away team).
The A.I. uses the Risk Gauge and Token to read the state of play and
decide how hard to push its Players. The Gauge has three levels: Low Whatever the case, you will need to take all ten Check Dice and both
