About this board game
Mage Tower is a tower defense card game for 1–4 players with a playing time of about 30 minutes. It combines the pressure of tower defense with the replayability and customization of a fantasy card game.
At the start of each game, players build a unique deck from a selection of more than 170 spells and abilities. Choose cards with attention to combos, synergy, and balanced energy costs, while keeping an eye on the strategies being developed by your opponents.
During play, two decks drive the action: the Monster Deck and each player’s customized Player Deck. Every turn, monsters emerge from the Monster Deck to attack. Use cards from your Player Deck to deal damage, draw additional cards, interfere with opponents, and carry out other effects.
- Build a different Player Deck in every game.
- Choose from more than 170 spells and abilities.
- Combine cards through synergies and carefully managed energy costs.
- Face monsters that arrive each turn from the Monster Deck.
- Buy Prize Cards during the game to add new options to your deck.
Alongside its deck-building before the game, Mage Tower includes a subtle in-game deck-building element. Prize Cards can be purchased during play and added to your deck, giving you another way to shape your available cards as the battle continues.
The first players to lose all their life from the monsters lose. With its changing card selections, customizable decks, and constant monster attacks, Mage Tower offers a compact fantasy card game experience for solo play or groups of up to four.
