description Mage Wars Overview

Mage Wars is a tactical tabletop game released in 2012 in which two players control rival mages fighting inside an arena. Each mage uses a customizable spellbook containing creatures, attacks, equipment, enchantments, and other spells, and may select available cards directly instead of drawing from a randomized deck. Positioning on the board, resource management, hidden enchantments, and differences between mage classes shape its detailed dueling system.
