The image shows the Magic: The Gathering – Arena of the Planeswalkers Board Game. Arena of the Planeswalkers is a tactical miniatures wargame for 2-­5 players, inspired by the Magic: The Gathering card game, taking place on various planes of the Multiverse There have been three installments in the franchise, taking place on the planes of Shandalar, Zendikar, and Innistrad. Arena of the Planeswalkers is co-­developed by Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro. Introduced under the working title Magic the Gathering Strategy Board Game, the definite name was announced in February 2015.[1][2] The game became available at select retailers on July 1, 2015 and more widely available on August 15, 2015 for around $30.[3] The design of the game is by James D'Aloisio, Ethan Fleischer and Craig Van Ness.[4] Playing- The players customize the battlefield by designing the map, placing terrain and powerful glyphs. The players each play one of several planeswalkers. They summon armies, cast game-changing spells, and try to outmaneuver their foes on the battlefield. You complete arena objectives to establish board control. You position yourself to launch your final strike. Relation to the TCG. No prior knowledge of Magic is needed to play the game. Arena of the Planeswalkers is a standalone experience from the TCG. Many familiar concepts will be present but streamlined for the board game. The game is not played with Magic: The Gathering cards, but it pulls directly from Magic lore and includes references to many classic cards. Rules- The board is built up from modular pieces. There are certain terrain rules for different terrains (e.g., water). Some pieces create a vertical dimension to the terrain Some pieces pose objectives and goals Ruins block the way and also block lines of sight. Each player chooses a planeswalker Each planeswalker has access to one color of mana. Each player has a card deck (12 spell cards) with spells that interact with the played creatures (these cards look similar to, but are not Magic cards). Each player starts with his or her planeswalker at the back of the board. When a 'squad' is summoned, in the next turn, only one unit (either the planeswalker or the squad) may be moved. The goal is to eliminate the opposing planeswalker or to control a certain part of the board. Elongated 'Squad stat cards' are the stat sheets for the figures on the battlefield. Combat will be determined by both players throwing a certain number of dice.
