What is Arcanum

Your training in the great halls of magic is now over, the years of hard work and difficult study now coming to an end. Tomorrow you will begin your long journey, one each graduate of the tower must take; a journey of adventure, danger and riches. You will need all your skills to survive this quest, but you are ready, for your magic is strong and your will is like iron.

Arcanum is a simple to play, but complex game of adventure and magic, a game where players seek out the destiny of their characters as they travel about the many magical lands on a unique game board. Players will need to achieve a set of victory conditions if they wish to win the game; conditions that they have set for themselves before the game even begins. Encounter monsters, dangers and companions to aid you in your quest, and along the way you may even join other players, as you each try to achieve some great deed. That, or you may find that you have to battle these players, as they seek to steal from you all your gathered magic and riches. Allies can turn into enemies, with a blink of the eye, so you must walk your path with caution.

Arcanum comes with 15 fully illustrated map tiles, and over 50 spells. Also included is a 30 page set of rules, monster cards, treasure cards, and more, more, more.

Feel the call for adventure and enter the world of Arcanum!
