Lee (Goldyx) and Richard (Norowas) played a fully cooperative game where two of the three cities had to be conquered by both players. Both cities were conquered on the last night phase of the game. Lee demanded that a final score be determined for the best player. Richard had captured 3 keep, 1 mage tower, 1 ruin, an underground den, and was controlling player of the two cities. Lee… not so much. Richard’s score was off the score board.

Combining elements of RPGs, deck-building, and traditional board games, the Mage Knight Board Game puts you in control of one of seven powerful Mage Knights as you explore (and conquer) a corner of the Mage Knight universe under the control of the Atlantean Empire. Build your army, fill your deck with powerful spells and actions, explore caves and dungeons, and eventually conquer powerful cities controlled by this once-great faction! In competitive scenarios, opposing players may be powerful allies, but only one will be able to claim the land as their own. In cooperative scenarios, the players win or lose as a group. Solo rules are also included.

Lee (Goldyx) and Richard (Arythea) did the first scenario for learning the game. We won the game, but individually the score (fame) for Richard was twice that of Lee. There were numerous rules and procedures we did not follow but will in the next run through tomorrow. Richard also 3D resin printed most of the terrain for the game that added bling.

Overall, we thought it was a tremendous game.
