Mythos Standard Game Set

Rule Errata

The following important rules changes supersede the printed MSGS rules:

Joining: Two additional sentences have been added to the end of the definition of Joining on page 28: "Two cards may Join as long as one of them allows this in its Special Effects box. More than two cards may Join as long as every combination of two cards in the group Joins."

Just Played: The definition on page 28 of the MSGS rules is subtly wrong. It should read: "A card played since your last Turn in the current Round that has not been affect by any other card play."

Card Errata

Dysentery - Add the text "Then, Bury this Card" to the end of the Special Effect Box.

Mythos Limited

Rule Errata

The following important clarification exists for Mythos Limited. Note that in MSGS the rules have undergone several updates and clarifications. These newer rules should be used instead of the out-of-date Limited rules.

Combat: One paragraph in the COSMIC BATTLE section in Combat is incorrect, and gives a mistaken impression of how Combat is conducted. The correction is simple:

On page 27, delete the last sentence of the COSMIC BATTLE section (Bury all Monsters ... opponent's threat.) Thus, if your DEEP ONE (1 point) battles a FLYING POLYP (5 points), the DEEP ONE absorbs 1 point and your Investigator loses 4 points of Sanity. Only then are the monsters buried.

Card Errata

The following general card errata has been issued for Mythos Limited:

Islands: The old Island travel restrictions have been overriden by the following general rule: "Islands are Special Locations found within Regions. You can not walk or use Travel By Land or Travel by Air cards to go to, from or between Islands, unless Special Effects say otherwise." All old Island cards (R'lyeh, Bal Sagoth, Easter Island, Otaheite, Ponape and Retoka) should have the old text which said "You must use a Travel by Sea card to get to this Location" stricken.

Travel By Sea Events: All Travel by Sea events from Limited (Mauretania, Titanic, Tramp Streamer) should have the phrase "Play this card at a Location featuring the water attribute" added to the special effect box of the card.
