About this board game
Fall of Magic is a collaborative storytelling game for 2–4 players about a group of travelers journeying with the Magus to Umbra, the realm where magic was born.
Magic is dying, and the Magus is dying with it. Together, the travelers follow a fantasy journey in which character relationships, transformations, and personal experiences take center stage. The story unfolds through shared contributions, creating a literary adventure shaped by the group at the table.
At the heart of the game is an elegant rule set paired with a remarkable physical presentation. Rather than relying only on a conventional board, the journey is revealed on a canvas scroll that unrolls as the travelers progress.
- Explore perilous roads and fantastic locales.
- Encounter strange hosts along the route.
- Develop relationships and transformations through collaborative storytelling.
- Follow a scroll stretching over 5 feet (1.5 meters) in length.
Masterfully illustrated by award-winning artist Doug Keith, the scroll gives the adventure a distinctive sense of place and physical momentum. Each newly revealed section invites the group to consider what the travelers encounter and how their experiences change them.
Fall of Magic follows the tradition of the fantasy journey while keeping its focus on the people making the journey together. For players who enjoy imaginative storytelling, evocative settings, and shared narrative discovery, it offers a visually striking path toward the birthplace of magic.
