Description

Get ready to dive back into the world of magic and mystery with Dark Mages: The Arcane Order, the exciting expansion to the original Dark Mages game. Designed by Eric Bleney and released in 2017, this expansion is perfect for fans of the base game looking to shake things up and experience new challenges. With a simple ruleset that can be explained quickly, you'll be able to jump right into the action, whether you're a seasoned pro or new to the series. Up to 8 players can join in on the fun, working together to overcome the obstacles that stand in their way, and with a playtime of 20 to 60 minutes, you can fit in a game whenever you like. In Dark Mages: The Arcane Order, you'll find 60 new playing cards that introduce three new categories to the game, broadening the possibilities and adding fresh depth to the gameplay. New spells, skills, and special abilities specific to each character will give you more options than ever before, and new magic items will help you on your quest. But beware - the forces of darkness are not going to go down without a fight. Changing weather conditions, devious traps, and tenacious new enemies will all try to stop you from achieving your goals, and it's up to you and your fellow magicians to join forces and defeat them. With variable player powers and a cooperative gameplay mechanic, you'll need to work together and use your unique abilities wisely if you want to emerge victorious. As a cooperative game, Dark Mages: The Arcane Order encourages teamwork and strategy, and the addition of dice rolling and hand management mechanics adds an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability. Whether you're playing with a small group or a large one, the game is designed to be fun and engaging, with plenty of opportunities for players to contribute and make a difference. So gather your friends, grab the expansion, and get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure of magic and discovery in the world of Dark Mages: The Arcane Order.
