From the publisher's webpage: Soulless are the dreaded captains of the undead. Once powerful necromancers, these practitioners of the dark arts are able to bring the dead back to life. The Soulless have a deep hatred for the living, and channel that hate through their staff. This inflicts unbearable pain and curses those who succumb to the Darkness.
Myth: Soulless Captain Pack 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 Myth: Soulless Captain Pack is 120 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 Myth: Soulless Captain Pack for ages 10 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.
