Terra Mystica is a Euro-style board game for two to five players designed by Helge Ostertag and Jens Drögemüller.

[1] The game starts with each player picking one of fourteen fantasy factions, each with its own unique special abilities and costs associated with actions.

The game is split into six rounds during which players take any number of actions to improve their society.

Actions may involve settling new spaces, upgrading existing buildings, improving infrastructure like shipping, or increasing the faction's status in an elemental cult.

The game lasts for six rounds, at the end of which additional victory points are awarded for end-game goals.
