They have been inspected by one of our game experts and are certified \"Complete.\" You may find some minor imperfections, such as light wear on the box or on certain game components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo mages face off in a boardless arena, where every spell cast can turn the tide of battle in an instant. Mage Wars Academy pulls you into a fast, intense \u003cstrong\u003emage duel\u003c\/strong\u003e: play as the Beastmaster, summoning wild creatures to overwhelm your opponent, or the Wizard, master of elements and illusions. Before each match, you build your own \u003cstrong\u003espellbook\u003c\/strong\u003e by drafting from more than a hundred cards, so every clash plays out differently from the last. With no board to set up, this \u003cstrong\u003estrategic card game\u003c\/strong\u003e is ready to play in minutes on any table, whether with a friend or at a game night among enthusiasts. Attack dice settle melee combat, while the twelve-sided effect die adds a layer of uncertainty to every spell cast. Every card in this box stays compatible with Mage Wars Arena, the larger universe Academy springs from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMage Wars Academy is for you if you love pure strategy duels where every draw and placement decision matters, if you would rather plan your own battle inside a \u003cstrong\u003ecustom spellbook\u003c\/strong\u003e than follow a fixed script, and if short, intense head-to-head clashes excite you more than a long board game. Fans of collectible-style card games will find the depth of a deckbuilder here, without the recurring cost of mandatory expansions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMage Wars Academy is a spin-off of Mage Wars Arena: the publisher kept the same universe and dueling mechanics while dropping the board for a more portable experience that plays in 30 to 45 minutes. All of its spell cards stay compatible with the Arena box, and multiple Academy sets can be combined to bring 3 or 4 players to the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wizard duel was designed by Bryan Pope, creator of the Mage Wars series, alongside Aaron Brosman and Matthew Burch for this more accessible Academy format. Craig J. Spearing's artwork brings the mages, their summoned creatures, and their spells to life, reinforcing the dark fantasy identity of the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOX CONTENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 Academy Mages (Beastmaster and Wizard)\u003cbr\u003e2 Four-Pocket Spellbooks\u003cbr\u003e2 Status Trackers\u003cbr\u003e131 Spell Cards\u003cbr\u003e62 Markers\u003cbr\u003e6 Attack Dice\u003cbr\u003e1 12-sided Effect Die\u003cbr\u003eRulebook and Codex\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Players:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaying Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 to 45 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to protect your cards, you will need:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.asdesjeux.com\/products\/mayday-games-sleeves-premium-635-x-88-mm-50\"\u003e63.5 mm x 88 mm\u003c\/a\u003e, about 135 sleeves (mage, ability, and spell cards)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"L'As des jeux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49202179571963,"sku":"210000031500","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/5847\/1419\/files\/mage-wars-academy-core-set-pre-joue-en-bazar-bazar-strategie-1255296107.jpg?v=1787268400","url":"https:\/\/www.asdesjeux.com\/en\/products\/mage-wars-academy-core-set-pre-joue-en","provider":"L'As des jeux","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
