About this deal

Most cards in the game will use this mechanic. Match up the colors with mana and you’ll get a better ability. You won’t always have access to the right colors of mana and it can shift rapidly throughout the round. Wound Cards

I’ve rarely had so much fun in board games, solo or otherwise. There are so many options and ways to play, giving each game a very unique feel to it. The game looks gorgeous all set up and you get to create amazing stories as you explore the world. Fame and Reputation work so well in the game and feels so natural. I love leveling mechanics and would find myself seeking glory by taking detours to locations I probably didn’t need to go but had a blast every step of the way. Mage Knight is played in a series of rounds, divided into day and night phases. During each round, players take turns performing actions to explore the board, battle enemies, and achieve objectives. Each player's turn consists of the following steps: Draw cards: Draw up to your hand limit, typically five cards. This forms your hand for the current turn. In Mage Knight, players will assume the role of a hero of the Atlantean Empire called a Mage Knight. During the course of the board game, players will reclaim territory, besiege castles, hunt marauding orcs, delve dungeons, loot wizard towers, and tons more.Being a jerk has consequences, but you do get awesome stuff for burning down the monastery… Ending the Game Hurting slightly, I pressed on and came across a dungeon. My scouts wouldn’t be able to help me even if they weren’t wounded and I was relatively fresh. Onward. The dungeon run didn’t end well. Again, I was forced to retreat and this time there were no meat shields in sight.

Choose a scenario: The game comes with several scenarios with different objectives, durations, and levels of difficulty. Select one that suits your group's preferences.To say this game is large is a massive understatement. You could get the base game and play it for a year and still not get bored with it. Follow the walkthrough booklets and you’ll be fine. It’s a complex game, but the walkthrough makes it far less intimidating. The Pros and Cons of Mage Knight Pros: Recruit units: Spend influence to recruit units from the offer, adding them to your play area. Units can provide valuable support during your adventure. Mage Knight’s rulebooks have all been refined and are much easier to follow. The walkthrough game is taken at an excellent pace and introduces rules as they come up. If you’re like me and like to read rulebooks cover to cover before the game is even out of the box, you’re going to get a headache. Players progress through the game by achieving objectives, gaining Fame, and increasing their Reputation. The game's victory conditions are determined by the chosen scenario. For example, players might need to conquer cities or defeat a certain number of enemies. Once the victory conditions are met, the game ends, and the player with the highest Fame is declared the winner.

For example, if you have the Blue Card Stamina in your hand you could simply play it and gain 2 movements for that turn. If you happened to have a blue crystal or access to blue mana you could spend it and instead use the enhanced ability of 4 movement.In a game this heavy there’s always going to be a lot of questions, and just as I’m not going to be able to cover all of the rules in this article (I went over the bare minimum to give you an idea of what you’re getting into) there’s still a lot of questions. WizKids did put out an FAQ, and as I probably mentioned a thousand times now, the Ultimate Edition rulebooks are very well-written. Mage Knight is one of the definitive action/adventure fantasy board games on the market today. The decision to switch gears and convert a collectible miniatures game into a single box board game is a bold move but it’s worked well for Wiz Kids.
