It features two mages going head-to-head in combat, just like in Mage Wars Arena. You get two mages, two spellbooks, and a 'boardless' design that's portable and allows for fast gameplay. All the spell cards in this set are compatible with those in the Arena version. You can even add multiple core sets or future expansions to create a 3 or 4-player game. At TheGameSteward, we're happy to back campaigns to bring you this great game. A good portion of your purchase will go towards backing new games on Kickstarter.

How to use: First, set up the game by taking out the two mages and two spellbooks. Each player chooses a mage and starts with the spellbook. The 'boardless' design means you can arrange the playing area as you like. Players take turns using spells from their spellbooks to fight against each other's mages. The goal is to be the last victorious mage. Notice: Make sure to handle the spell cards carefully to avoid damage. When adding multiple core sets or expansions for 3 or 4-player games, double - check that all cards are compatible. Maintenance: Keep the game in a dry and cool place. If the cards get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth.
