Watch “Mythwind Reprint and Friends & Family Review,” a board game review for Mythwind from BoardGameDave on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by BoardGameDave on YouTube:
Hey there! Thank you for joining me for my first review video of 2026! 🎉 This is definitely more of a conversational-style video than my usual review videos but I hope you'll appreciate me giving my honest thoughts about Mythwind and how those thoughts have changed over the years! While I've had so much fun immersing myself within the world Mythwind creates, I've unfortunately found myself more often frustrated than intrigued throughout my last few plays. If you'd like to share your own thoughts on Mythwind with me, please let me know in the comments–I read and respond to every comment and I love hearing what other gamers have to say! 💬
Thank you so much to the wonderful folks at @OpenOwlStudios for entrusting me with your Mythwind content over the years! I'm sorry I couldn't say more positive things about the reprint and new expansion but Mythwind remains one of the games I've enjoyed playing the most over the years, even if I can't recommend the game in its current state! (So much so that it was my most-played game of 2024 and my second most-played game of 2025!)

About Mythwind, from BoardGameGeek:
Mythwind is a cooperative & solo "cozy" board game with unique characters, magical sprites, engaging story and an unending adventure.
During the game, the characters are working together to establish and build a new town in the magical Mythwind Valley. They work to achieve various goals by constructing buildings within the town, adventuring throughout the region, navigating relationships with the mysterious sprites who inhabit the valley, and developing their character-specific professions.
As an open-ended game, Mythwind has no distinct conclusion. Although many players may find a natural end point to their game at the conclusion of the story, players can continue to play the game for as long as they would like over as many game sessions as they wish. As players progress through the game, their town will develop and grow, reacting to changing seasons and to the members of the community over time. Progress made can be easily saved using the provided game trays, which offer a quick and easy solution for both tear-down of the current game and setup of future games.
