About this board game
The Masters’ Trials: Wrath of Magmaroth is a cooperative dice-crafting game for 1–4 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. Players take the roles of elemental masters who join forces to confront Magmaroth, a vengeful creature born of earth and fire.
Each player has a character board and five dice used to activate the effects of their abilities. Across ten rounds, the masters face new minions, generate mana, and master new abilities that can be added to their characters. They must develop their powers carefully and work together before the volcano collapses around them.
Character creation is built around three different boards representing a master’s class, order, and weapon. These boards determine the character’s initial abilities and the abilities available to master during the game. Combining the boards in different ways creates new characters and supports a different experience in each playthrough.
- Cooperative play: Work together against minions and the powerful Magmaroth.
- Dice crafting: Use and develop five dice to apply your mastered abilities.
- Flexible characters: Combine class, order, and weapon boards to shape each master.
- Escalating challenge: Survive ten rounds before confronting the elemental enemy.
The dice-crafting mechanism in The Masters’ Trials uses an approach made popular by Dice City, adapting it to a fantasy battle against a destructive elemental foe. Build your character, coordinate with your fellow masters, roll your dice, and use powerful techniques to defeat Magmaroth before he destroys everything.
