Mage Knight Board Game

My wallet's psychic assault finally dissipated, and my brain instantly acknowledged the existence of Wizkids' Mage Knight Board Game, a 1+ player game by the creator of Galaxy Trucker and Dungeon Lords.

From Wizkids:

The Mage Knight Board Game throws you and up to three other Mage Knights into the sprawling and ever changing world of the Atlantean Empire, a land that is but a distant memory since your transformation into a mysterious Mage Knight. Build your armies, defeat bands of marauding enemies, and eventually conquer cities in the name of the mysterious Void Council. 

Designed by renowned designer Vlaada Chvatil, Mage Knight is a game of Epic Exploration and Conquest that mixes character development, intrigue, and the clashing of swords to create a truly unique gaming experience. 

The Mage Knight Board Game comes with a variety of campaign options, allowing you to play both competitively or cooperatively. Will your path intertwine with your fellow Mage Knights as you quest to conquer the Atlantean cities, or will you be sleeping with one eye open? 

The game features an impressive 240 cards, 8 intricately painted miniatures, 196 tokens, 20 map tiles, 54 mana crystals, 7 mana dice, 2 game mats and 2 rulebooks! 

If you're a serious solo player, you MUST read the rule book and check out how flexible and customizable this game truly is. Though one specific solo scenario is presented, almost any of the multi-player games may be easily adapted for solo play. In fact, the number of variants available for all of the game possibilities - competitive, cooperative, team play, etc. - is wholly impressive!

Despite my wallet's trepidation, the Mage Knight Board Game will release at some point in November. For more, go HERE.
