In a high tower, an alchemist prepares potions using vials filled with otherworldly liquids. In a sacred grove, a druid grinds herbs necessary for a mystical ritual. In the catacombs, a necromancer summons a bone dragon... Welcome to the unique world of Res Arcana!
In this world, Life, Death, Elan, Calm, and Gold are the essences that comprise the magical arts. Choose your mage, gather essences, craft unique artifacts, and use them to summon dragons, conquer Places of Power, and achieve victory!
The board game Res Arcana casts you in the role of a powerful sorcerer who fights for victory through spells and the summoning of mighty creatures. Designed by Tom Lehmann and richly illustrated by Julien Delval, the game mechanics offer a unique gaming experience.
