Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends

Step into the arena of Tash-Kalar, where masters of magic take each other on. In Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends you summon powerful beings by forming the right patterns on the board. Place your pieces cleverly, and when your shape matches a card in your hand, a creature comes to life. A giant crushes everything around it, a knight cuts a path through enemy pieces, a sorceress suddenly turns enemies into your colour. This is how a short but intense battle for the crowd's favour grows. You choose from four different factions, each with its own pile of beings and its own deck full of legendary creatures. There are two ways to play. In the standard version you earn points by completing tasks from the Arena Masters: controlling an area, taking out several enemies in one turn or finishing a certain series of summonings. In the melee version it is all about the show. You defeat your opponents and summon legends, because of course the crowd wants to see a dragon. Play as a duel with two players, as teams that share pieces and cards, or as a fierce fight where everyone plays for themselves. You will pick up the rules in no time, but as soon as you start predicting your opponent's moves, it becomes a real contest of the sharpest mind. For two to four players aged 13 and up, and in about half an hour you will know who rules the arena.
