Myriades is a board game released in 2023 for 1–5 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Benoit Turpin and Romaric Galonnier and its main mechanics are Race, Tile Placement, and Matching.
The Great Ocean spans the entire known world, and the Myriads Archipelago is in the middle of its expanse. You are a young Captain, in charge of a small fleet, and you are traveling the seas to find a few hospitable islands where your people can happily settle and prosper in peace. In fact, a well-known, ancient prophecy speaks of 5 blessed isles, which are waiting for you to find them, to set up a new realm. So your mind is made up: You won’t ease the helm until you have discovered them! On each of your turns, you must use your Fleet tiles to create an island containing the resources required by one of the Prophecy cards. The first player to form 5 islands, and thus obtain 5 cards wins the game and becomes the new ruler of the Myriads. —description from the publisher
Myriades supports 1–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Myriades is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Myriades for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Myriades has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
