About the game
What you do in a play session
Each player takes on the role of a powerful mage, each with their unique abilities and a spellbook full of devastating spells. The fun lies in building your strategy, anticipating your opponent's moves, and casting spells at the right moment. Luck with the dice comes into play, adding that spice of unpredictability that makes all the difference.
Mage Wars Academy is a complete starter set for two players, coming with everything you need to begin the battle: two mages, two spellbooks, and a host of spell cards. And the best part: the Academy cards are fully compatible with Arena cards, so if you already own Arena, you can expand your spell options and even mix them to create games for more players. It's a game that requires some reading in English, so be prepared for a linguistic challenge, but the magical combat experience is worth every word!
