ArchMage is a 2 or 4 Player Strategy & Combat game with a fantasy theme. Each Player selects a Faction based around the 4 Elements of Air, Earth, Water and Fire. By summoning Mages and ArchMages and unleashing powerful spells by controlling Spirit Towers located around the board, players attempt to gain the most Victory Points by completing Quests and trying to eradicate each other in combat before the end of the game. ArchMage was developed for the Chessex DiceFest Contest run by Kai Bettzieche . The rules were simple; create a game where each player needs one whole unmodified set of 36 D6 CHESSEX DICE, no more, no less. Version 1.5 Rules are available which is the Final Release, named First Edition. All the game boards won't change, so print away! Cards may change slightly as we update and refine them. Card errata's will be posted as this happens. Awards 2009/2010: Dicefest contest - a tribute to Chessex Winner!
