About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're a fan of the Magic Realm universe but find the original game a bit too much for a quick 30-minute session, the "Magic Realm Light 30 Asterisk Expansion" (or MRL30*) might be just what you're looking for! This little gem adds extra flavor to the already swift MRL30, introducing new mechanics like Sunlight Actions and the Alert action for Magic Chits. You'll also find Treasures scattered across locations, an arsenal of 6 new Weapons/Armor, 6 Treasures to collect, 2 Spells to turn the tide in your favor, and even a Chapel with a Knight to aid you (or not!). To top it off, the Wish, Curse, and Power of the Pit tables promise unexpected twists. The term "Light 30 Asterisk" is a game concept signifying something lightweight, quick (around 30 minutes), and requiring a small extra effort, which perfectly describes this expansion. Get ready to dive into more adventure and fantasy, but with that fast-paced feel we enjoy. Just be aware that the game requires significant reading, so having the language mastered or a good translation handy is advisable!
