Mythic Arcana is a board game released in 2018 for 2–4 players, 20–30 minutes per game, and ages 13 and up. It was designed by Tony Go and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Dice Rolling, and Open Drafting.
The Apocalypse. Götterdämmerung. Ragnarök. It goes by many names, but in the end there are only ashes. The heavens have fallen and in their wake a void beckons to be filled. Mythic Arcana is an epic card and dice game about the creation of a new pantheon from the remains of shattered ones. Choose your gods wisely and use them to battle the opposition. Only one pantheon can reign supreme. In Mythic Arcana 2-4 players will take turns summoning gods through the roll of dice. Recruit gods to do your bidding: alter dice results, destroy enemy gods, and unite the ultimate pantheon. Each round, all players roll their dice. Starting with the lowest values, a player will choose to summon a god from the available gods on offer. The first player to obtain a god in each domain: Heavens, Life, Wisdom, War, and Death, will be victorious. —description from the publisher

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
