Mage Wars Arena ENGLISH Core Set

Mage Wars is the customizable strategy game of dueling mages. Players take on the role of powerful mages, stepping into the arena to battle for supremacy. Mage Wars is a unique genre-breaking concept, combining the best elements of customizable card games and tactical miniature games.

Players can play as a Wizard, Warlock, Beastmaster or Priestess; each with their own unique strategies and style of play. The game is fast-paced and exciting, with tough tactical decisions every turn.

Players build their own custom spellbook, with over 300 spells to choose from! The game is not collectible – players have equal access to the same spells. There is no random card drawing - players choose exactly which spells to cast, when they want to cast them! This allows for an unprecedented level of rich strategy and tactics.

Summon powerful creatures into the battle, hurl lightning bolts and fireballs, adorn yourself with mighty weapons and armor, or lay a network of hidden enchantments to take your foe by surprise. All of this and more awaits you in the arena of Mage Wars! With subtle strategies and diabolical surprises, the balance of power can shift each round, keeping the game exciting and victory unpredictable.

Future expansions will offer new mages, spells, and strategies! Very important: Mage Wars is customizable, but not collectible. Everything you need to play is in the box, and players can carefully choose just the expansions they want.

Mage Wars highlights:
4 different mages, each with their own unique play style
Fully customizable – with 322 spells
Focus is on strategy, not random card drawing or collecting

Two clarifications:
1-The Mage Wars Core Set rulebook incorrectly lists 8 status cubes: 3 red, 3 blue and 2 black. The Core Set will come with 8 status cubes, however, the colors will be 6 black and 2 red. Each player gets 4 cubes, 3 black, and 1 red. Use the black markers to keep track of your Life, Channeling, and Mana Pool totals. Use the red marker to keep track of your Mage's current damage.
2-The Mage Wars rulebook incorrectly lists the Starting Spellbook for the Priestess on page 38. Instead of 1 Geyser in her attack spells, she should instead have 1 Jet Stream. Without this change, players would be unable to build the default Priestess and Beastmaster starter spellbooks simultaneously.
