About this board game

Trial of the Temples is a board game for 2–4 players, with a playing time of 60 minutes, in which powerful Archmages compete to become the Supreme Master.

Every century, the Archmages gather at the centre of the world, the Mages’ Arena. To claim the ultimate title, they must enter the trials at three temples and prove their skill against their opponents.

The game lasts for at most five days, with each day represented by a round. During this contest, Archmages refine crystals and create magical barriers to block one another. Timing is essential as each player seeks the right moment to surpass their rivals and make progress through the trials.

Magic is at the heart of the competition. Archmages can cast spells from the spellbook, creating an impressive spell chain as they work toward victory. Every decision contributes to the struggle for Trial Points, also known as victory points.
