What to Expect

In Black Rose Wars: Rebirth, up to four mages duel in a hexagonal arena using programmed spells to disable opponents, set traps, and summon beasts. The game combines deck, bag, and pool building with hand management on a modular board offering varied scenarios. When a mage is defeated, they return to their room but remain in the fight. With around 240 minutes playtime, expect deep strategic gameplay and player interaction.

Who Is This Game For?

This game targets experienced gamers aged 14 and up who enjoy complex fantasy combat and deck-building games with long play sessions. Solo play is supported, but the full interactive experience emerges with multiple players. Prior knowledge of deck-building and tactical conflict resolution is beneficial due to the game's strategic depth.

How It Works

Players control mages who build decks and pools of spells and creatures. They program their spells on a personal board and execute them in turn order, managing their hand carefully. The modular board enables different scenarios, expanding tactical options. End game bonuses encourage diverse strategies and influence victory conditions.
