Fast tactical game, Chess like, set in Arthurian's mythology universe.

You will be commanding minions as you’ll be casting powerful spells to achieve victory. Special dice will help to control changing board every turn and power hexes give you cards for conducting key maneuvers.

Goal of the game is to defeat opponent mage: Merlin or Mordred.

Every turn you will draw a number of cards depends on how many power hexes your minions are controlling on the board.

Cards in your hand are your actions. Spending them you can move your minions, you can boost attack skill or defenses and at last you can cast special spells, like: tornado, run or stone.

Every player at the beginning of their turn is forced to roll a special die which change an element on the board, making it different each turn. It is the player's choice when the turn ends whether or not he/she has any cards left on a hand or not.

In a tournament version you can use a Chess Clock for a fast and full of emotion game.
