About the game
What you do in a play session
In Flux, you take on the role of a powerful wizard competing fiercely for the title of Master of Wizards. The battlefield is a hexagonal grid where magic flows and strategies unfold. Your objective is to expand your domain by casting spells to summon creatures to fight for you or to shape the terrain itself, creating new features or destroying those of your opponents. The more 'flux' you manage to encircle within your territory, the greater your spellcasting ability becomes, making each conquered hex a crucial piece in your domination plan.
Combat is straightforward and simple: just roll a die, add your combat strength, and hope for the highest total. Spellcasting follows the same line of simplicity, primarily based on the spell's range. With rules that fit on just a few pages, Flux is the kind of game that doesn't require deep study, making it ideal for relaxing and enjoying a stress-free match. After 10 turns, the wizard who has accumulated the most Flux in their domain will be crowned the winner. It's a great choice for those seeking a light and fun experience to wrap up a game night.
