About the game
Titans, the demi-gods of the underworld, threaten mankind, spreading mischief and chaos in the world — but the humans are prepared to defend themselves by creating their own Titans to withstand these attacks from the underworld. While this action happens all around them, the players try to carry on with normal life, too, acquiring goods, refining them to better merchandise, and delivering them to ships and dealers — not to mention strengthening their own Titans and using troops for even more power. To keep your followers active, you need to hold enough action discs. Panthalos lasts at most eight rounds, but the game can end earlier if the powers of the underworld become too large...

Questions and answers
Panthalos 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 Panthalos is 60–90 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 Panthalos 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.
Panthalos 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.
