Magiczny Miecz

Overview

What ABG knows about this game

This board game was produced by Sfera after the license for producing the Polish version of Talisman was revoked after the publication of a Sfera original expansion for Magia i Miecz called Jaskinia or The Cave. It is very much like Talisman except that the board is "inside-out" in that you start in the middle of the board in a valley and work you way up to the mountains around the outside of the board. Instead of the Crown of Command you must battle your way through the Fortress of the Beast which is situated on a bridge which spans the board. Game's world is a bit more darker than heroic Talisman. The basic layout of cards etc is the same as in Talisman except that Strength is replaced with Might and Craft with Magic. A version of the game was later made without license by Phantom, a Russian firm. Sfera produced a second edition of the game, which changed the style of the cards, but kept the art. The board was recreated using photo art and new character art was used. Only the base game was produced.
