About the game

What you do in a play session

The Piclo's Magic Reinforcement Pack lands as the perfect upgrade for owners of the Summoner Wars Master Set. It adds 32 fresh cards, introducing a mix of units—from Deep Dwarves and Trolls to Battle Mages and Crossbowmen—as well as champions like Piclo, Gren and Kalu. Each card carries its own cost and ability, letting you experiment with new deck builds. The game keeps the core mechanics of the line: dice rolling to resolve combat, grid movement to position troops, and hand management to decide when to play each card. Since every army has variable powers, the expansion further emphasizes each faction’s unique identity, offering new tactical avenues for fans of asymmetric play. A typical match runs about 30 minutes, suitable for 2‑4 players looking for a quick yet decision‑heavy duel. With a low complexity rating (BGG weight 2.78), even newcomers to card‑based war games can pick it up fast. If you love deck‑building, testing synergies, and feeling the rush of Itharia’s battles, this pack supplies the extra variety you’ve been missing. Keep in mind it requires the base game, so it’s not a standalone product. In short, more cards, more choices, and more fun for Summoner Wars enthusiasts.
