For those who stumble into the Cave of Djinns, there is only one way out. Should you fail to solve the djinns’ riddles, you will surely suffer their wrath.

Cave of Djinns is a solo-only 6-card expansion to the Mysticana deck. In this evolving puzzle, the player must solve the djinns’ riddles through careful card placement. Each of the 6 double-sided djinns are placed in a loose pyramid shape, with space around each djinn to play a card in each orthogonal direction. The player draws 2 cards and plays them both in sequence each turn. Each djinn shows a specific arrangement of cards around them which must be fulfilled to solve their riddle and earn an immediate one-time bonus. Solved djinns are covered by an adjacent Mysticana card. Complete all 6 riddles to escape the cave with wits intact!

The world is full of long-forgotten items of power. Will you harness their enchantments or gamble on your own fortunes to prevail?

Arcane Artifacts is a multiplayer 6-card expansion to the Mysticana deck. In this lightweight game of chance and skill, each player receives 2 cards and hopes to have the best combination for the round. After the initial deal, players may discard 1 of their cards to draw a replacement, then each player decides whether to stay in the play or resign for the round. Once all players have committed, a new card is flipped; this determines scoring for the round and also changes the value of each Avatar (rank ⟐). Players reveal their hands to see who holds the best score. Each round also features one of 12 Artifacts, which offer a bonus to the player's hand who meets their criteria most effectively. Rounds are cumulative, and the first player to win a round and have 30+ points is declared the final victor!
