Product Description

"The Mage Knight Board Game throws you and up to three other Mage Knights into the sprawling and ever changing world of the Atlantean Empire, a land that is but a distant memory since your transformation into a mysterious Mage Knight. Build your armies, defeat bands of marauding enemies, and eventually conquer cities in the name of the mysterious Void Council.

Designed by renowned designer Vlaada Chvatil, Mage Knight is a game of Epic Exploration and Conquest that mixes character development, intrigue, and the clashing of swords to create a truly unique gaming experience. As a Mage Knight you must control your reputation and walk the line or embrace the role of benevolent leader or brutal dictator. Accumulate Fame and experience to acquire powerful Spells and abilities, then use your power to influence units to join your ranks. Will you destroy an ancient Draconum and gain favor with the people, or burn down a monastery to steal the powerful artifact hidden there? Both paths may lead to victory, but the decision is yours to make.

The Mage Knight Board Game comes with a variety of campaign options, allowing you to play both competitively or cooperatively. Will your path intertwine with your fellow Mage Knights as you quest to conquer the Atlantean cities, or will you be sleeping with one eye open?

Features:
240 Cards
8 Intricately Painted Miniatures
196 Tokens
20 Map Tiles
54 Mana Crystals
7 Mana Dice
2 Game Mats
2 Rulebooks"

Mage Knight the best board game of all time
4 Stars
Mage Knight the best board game of all time
Mage Knight to me... is a hybrid game combining fantasy, exploration, adventure, RPG, conquest, etc...As they say in the world of hobby board gaming, "does a game scale well?". Sadly Mage Knight really is best "solo" or with two players. There is so much to do on a player's turn, waiting for YOUR turn can take a while with 3+ players. My suggestion is stick to 1-2 players with Mage Knight.Any game with a ton of images in it, is going to need multiple artists. You can see examples of this phenomena in Lord of the Rings LCG by Fantasy Flight as well. This "non-unity" in the art can be noticed in Mage Knight, but once you get into game play, it's not really noticeable.The components in Mage Knight are fairly good with good linen stock on the cards and nice thick card stock for the hex map pieces. The dice however are a bit small, and I prefer 6 sided dice with rounded corners (but it really isn't that important to the overall game-play).One of the things I like about a game is a mix of game mechanics and pieces. It's seemingly all here, dice, nice looking cards, miniatures, etc etc. The dice mechanic used in "Mana-boosting", gives the players additional choices on their turn to "power-up", but doing so is limited and when to use this function is a tough choice. I also like how the cards can be played sideways for any three basic actions. Furthermore, I like how there are day and night rounds too and travelling through deserts (for example) can be better at night. How many games employ day and night functions?Mage Knight's upgrades or "leveling up" generally works well and is exciting to see what new changes players can employ.One of Mage Knight's biggest problems, are it's rules and some of the card verbiage. I wonder if the European designer Vlaada Chvátil's command of the English language was part of the problem. For myself, I abandoned the rules for YouTube instructional videos. Without those videos I would of given up on the game.The expansion to this game has made the game even better. If you can be patient enough with the steep learning, you'll be rewarded with one of the best gaming experiences on the market!

Me llegó en perfectas condiciones, en mi caso no faltaba nada.
Es un juego muy entretenido, no es para nada difícil de jugar en cuanto a mecánicas como mencionan algunos, (Yo había evitado éste juego por eso durante mucho tiempo) sólo que sus manuales están algo desordenados, sin embargo todas las reglas vienen ahi de manera clara, sólo hay que leerlas y ordenar las ideas para poder entenderlas, después de eso todo fluye muy fácil.
Con una persona que las entienda, puede enseñar muy fácilmente a los demás y si quienes juegan piensan en divertirse, más que en no perder el juego pasa muy rápido, así de fluidas y sencillas son las reglas, como dije, lo único es ponerlas en orden, creo que eso espanta a mucha gente.

Lo más difícil de aprender es lo siguiente:
Para defender de fuego lo haces con hielo.
De hielo te defiendes con fuego.
De fuego helado defiendes con fuego helado.
Si defiendes con algo diferente a eso que es lo efectivo, los puntos que generes deben duplicar el valor de los puntos que debes bloquear

Las fases del turno son:
Movimiento.
Acción/interacción.
Fin del turno.

En la pelea es:
Jugador ataca a distancia(solo usas cartas de ataques a distancia)
Jugador genera bloqueos para defenderse.
Fase de asignación de daño.
Fase de Ataque del jugador

Y recordar que al asignar daño para tomar heridas, siempre tomas herida primero, sin importar el escudo del personaje, después restas el valor de tu escudo al valor de ataque recibido, si queda valor de ataque después de la resta, repites ese proceso hasta que el valor de ataque sea 0 ó negativo.

Si estas dispuesto aprender eso, ya aprendiste lo difícil de las reglas y podras disfrutar de este juego de aventura, exploración y desafío.

Me gusta que es un juego que te hace pensar dos o tres turnos a futuro y planear bien tus jugadas.

Las miniaturas no son perfectas y mucho menos su pintado, pero se agradece el detalle, ya que de los juegos que poseo, no recuerdo tener alguno que venga así de fabrica.

También me gusta que se puede jugar en solitario y como para Jugarlo de esa manera, ya debes de saber las reglas es muy rápido.
Sacarlo a la mesa es muy sencillo y guardarlo también, ya que solo necesitas el deck de personaje, unos cuantos tokens, 3 decks mas y las fichas de enemigos, todo se debe revolver por separado, asi que casi lo vuelves a sacar como lo guardaste, una barajeada sencilla y ya está.

Sin duda alguna verá mas juego en mi mesa, hasta estoy considerando comprar ya las expansiones.
