About the game
In Mysthea Solo Expansion you will find yourself facing the very skilled former Champion Maliath who, after years of endless travels through the Mysthea Mist, now is back, stronger and more stubborn than before. Maliath's forces rose like an unstoppable plague, driven by unfathomable hatred for everything our people have touched. Maliath is a highly skilled strategist and a relentless fighter who has no intention of leaving you alone while you fight for the control of the five unexplored floating islands. It will get in the way of your plans in many ways, compromising island attunements, interfering in fights with monsters, and even directly starting battles against you. The solo mode expansion of this area control and hand-management eurogame will make you meet an incredible new opponent, but beware, she will be an actual player, just like you, and she’s not easily fooled! —description from the publisher
