Overview

In the time before the Dawn, the mages of Sorcado were locked in a constant struggle for power. They would battle to control monsters and minions. At the end, the mage with the greatest fighting force was declared leader…but that was then. Objective: Players take turns observing and manipulating the field of monsters by peeking at cards and deviously moving the monsters. Players strategically place their mage cards to compel monsters to join their army. The mage controlling the strongest force of monsters wins.
