In a sacred grove, a Druid performs a mystical ritual. In the catacombs, a Necromancer calls forth a bone dragon.

Each player receives a hand of artifact cards unique to their deck, and the gameplay is deep but can be picked up fairly quickly — with Setup, Rules, and Iconography reference cards keeping rules questions off the table. The game ends when at least one mage reaches 10 points, scored through Artifact cards, Places of Power, Monuments, and the first player marker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe game can be played non-aggressively or aggressively — certain artifacts such as Dragons and bows allow you to attack rival mages, who must defend or lose life essences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30–60 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sand Castle Games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tom Lehmann\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eExpansions available: Lux et Tenebrae (adds 5th player, demons, scrolls) \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sand Castle Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081284305052,"sku":"SCG23607","price":59.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/files\/913OHXqX3pL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1781823313","url":"https:\/\/www.hobbyco.com.au\/products\/res-arcana","provider":"Hobbyco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
