📖 About This Game

For thousands of years nations have fought to control Mana Sources, which are now essential to modern life. Each nation has unique weapons, talents, and battlefield-warping effects to emerge victorious. But be careful, each opponent may have a few tricks they've picked up from another nation... Mana Source is a thrilling high-fantasy adventure where nation has ravaged nation following the onset of a mechanical revolution. Join a scrappy group on the outskirts of civilization. As you venture out, you'll have to explore, solve puzzles, and defeat deadly adversaries if you're going to survive. Play Mana Source cooperatively in a story-driven campaign, replayable skirmish mode, or competitively head-to-head. A streamlined solo mode ensures that individuals can focus on playing their character. Many dungeon crawlers contain only a light, loosely connected narrative. In Mana Source the story, characters, and various twists are a focal point. The story favors a tight, high-quality narrative of over 140,000 words across 20+ scenarios that you'll remember for years to come. Combat in Mana Source is highly interactive and euro-inspired, relying on planning and execution instead of dice rolls. Each class begins with low complexity actions in order to make getting started easy. You can teach the basics in just 15 minutes. Over the course of the campaign, players unlock new skills, gather resources, and complete challenges that add layers of strategy. Discover new combos while adapting to every unique encounter thrown your way! In addition, every action is built from the ground-up for head-to-head competitive play. Choose a primary and secondary class, then construct a hand of 9 cards utilizing attack, talent, and unique nation card types. Each round, choose a card from your hand to play and resolve the actions simultaneously. Don't wait for your turn, strategize, coordinate, and execute to secure victory! —description from the publisher
