Set 3 Armies of Myth Flavor Text Contest Official Rules

Flavor Text Contest *OFFICIALLY ENDED*

Some of you may have noticed that many HEX cards have crazy italicized text at the bottom. True, flavor text will not help you win tournaments, but it will give you the details needed to understand the world of Entrath, as well as the characters and story that make HEX an ongoing narrative experience.

The time has come to give you the opportunity to add to the lore of HEX. We challenge you to come up with flavor text for the card below. The selected winning entry will actually appear on this card when Armies of Myth is released!

You can read the full contest rules below, but here is the basic rundown:

Take a good look at the card, then come up with the best flavor text possible. Typical flavor text is between 100-150 characters, but we are allowing up to a maximum of 200 characters. Email your entry to promotions@hextcg.com with the subject line: “Set 3: Armies of Myth Flavor Text Contest Entry”.

All entries MUST have the following information:

Participant’s First and Last Name

City and State of Residence

In-game Username

Flavor Text Entry (limit of 200 characters)

State the following, “I am at least of the age 18 and I certify that by submitting my entry to the Contest, I agree to be bound by the Set3: Armies of Myth Flavor Text Contest Official Rules.”

Location of Arbitration : Any arbitration will take place at any reasonable location convenient for you, however, if outside of Los Angeles County, California, the arbitration proceedings may be limited to submission of document, by phone or online. Any Dispute not subject to arbitration, or where no election to arbitrate has been made, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within Los Angeles County, California, United States of America, and you and Hex agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Governing Law : All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules or the rights and obligations of Participant in connection with the contest shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California including procedural provisions without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of any other state’s or jurisdiction’s laws.
