In a tall tower, an alchemist brews mysterious potions from vials filled with arcane liquids. In a sacred grove, a druid crushes herbs to perform a mystical ritual. In the catacombs, a necromancer summons a bone dragon. Welcome to the world of Res Arcana! Life, death, waves, rest, and gold are the essences that drive the art of magic in this dark world. Choose your wizard, gather essences, craft unique artifacts, and use them to summon dragons, conquer places of power, and achieve victory! In Res Arcana, players take on the roles of powerful wizards competing against their rivals for ultimate power. Will you manage to optimize your resources to reclaim monuments and places of power from your opponents? Res Arcana is a management card game for experienced players by Thomas Lehmann, the renowned and celebrated board game designer. The depth of gameplay and mechanics have led this title to win the coveted As d'Or award in 2020 at the Cannes Game Festival. Lux et Tenebrae is the first expansion for Res Arcana. The expansion increases the game to 5 players, adds a new demon type to the artifacts, and introduces scrolls with special, one-time-use powers. New wizards, magical items, monuments, places of power, and artifacts further enrich the game. The base game box of Res Arcana is required to play.
