Mythos: The Dreamlands is an expansion for Mythos released in 1997 for 2–10 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 112 and up. It was designed by Charlie Krank.
Mythos: The Dreamlands (1997) introduced the concept of a different dimension, Dreamlands, with all new Investigators, boosters and starters. This new expansion to Mythos details the world of the Dreamlands, first recorded by H. P. Lovecraft in The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, "The Doom that Came to Sarnath", and many other stories. You'll encounter the fantastic beings that inhabit those lands, including the ferocious Cats of Ulthar, the curious zoogs of the Enchanted Woods, the detestable water-lizard of Mnar, and the corrupt Men of Leng. In explorations that will bring you from the far side of the Moon to the Castle of the Great Ones on Kadath, you'll find new Tomes, new Artifacts, new Spells, and much more.
Mythos: The Dreamlands supports 2–10 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 Mythos: The Dreamlands is 45 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 Mythos: The Dreamlands for ages 112 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.

The catalogue lists Mythos: The Dreamlands as an expansion for Mythos.

Check that your edition of Mythos is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
