Mystick Companion is a board game released in 2000 for 2–5 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Eric M. Lang.
Mystick Companion is an expansion for Mystick Domination, though it can also be played without Mystick Domination. From the back of the box: The world of Mystick grows larger and stranger with the Companion set as the Masters find new ways to create the future with new tarot cards. Each 78-card Companion deck is fully compatible with earlier Mystick cards and also stands alone as a complete game and tarot deck. The Basic Deck contains 78 new cards to get you started with Mystick or to add to your existing Mystick collection. Features - Stunning new classical artwork - Clever new strategies to stretch your imagination - New interpretations of each Minor Arcana card - User-friendly tutorial to get you started playing in minutes - Fast-paced play; playing time 15-20 minutes Integrates with: Mystick Domination
Mystick Companion supports 2–5 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 Mystick Companion is 30 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 Mystick Companion for ages 12 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.
Mystick Companion has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight 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.
