About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're a fan of Mage Wars and looking to spice up your magical duels, the Warlock expansion for Mage Wars Academy is a fantastic addition! This shadowy character arrives ready to prove the superiority of darkness, summoning creatures from the shadows and casting curses upon his enemies. The expansion includes 72 brand-new spell cards, game markers to keep track of the magical chaos, and the rules to get you started. The Warlock is compatible with both Mage Wars Academy and Arena, so no matter which version you own, he fits right in. Prepare for a clash of mages where strategy and a bit of luck (hello, dice rolling!) go hand in hand. If you already enjoy the series and are seeking more character options and spells to surprise your opponents, this expansion is a welcome addition to your arsenal. The complexity remains consistent with the base game, but the variety of plays and the Warlock's unique identity bring a refreshing element that's well worth exploring. It's time to cast your best spells and see who emerges victorious from this magical arena!
