   Es un juego precioso, de los que se disfruta un montón nada más mirar la caja (me encantan las ilustraciones, pues no son las típicas de este tipo de juegos) y al abrirla hay magia. Sólo le pongo una pega: el reglamento tiene una tipo de letra con un tamaño demasiado pequeño para mis cansados ojos. Son unas reglas complejas pero fascinantes. Hay vídeos en YouTube muy buenos que ayudan mucho para iniciarte. La mecánica del juego personalmente me gusta mucho: es una mezcla curiosa y que funciona. El colocar todos los elementos del juego puede llevar un rato (sobre todo la primera vez), pero si te organizas las cartas, tokens, personajes y demás, se tarda menos tiempo. Se necesita una mesa hermosa y con mucho espacio libre para jugar. Por ahora sólo lo he jugado en modo solitario (que va de fábula), pero estoy deseando jugarlo pronto con otra persona (a ver si hay suerte y consigo engañar a alguien 😉 Magnífico juego.

   I have looked at buying MK for years and finally did so, unfortunately I could not afford the Ultimate edition but the basic game is fantastic anyhow. I like to play solo and the fact you can play at your own pace is attractive to me. Unfortunately the game is also attractive to my two cats who try to steal my heroes. Once again boardgamesweekly.com delivery was prompt and the game arrived in perfect condition.

   Anche se un po’ lungo (per la prima partita abbiamo impiegato circa tre ore in due giorni), il gioco è piaciuto molto a me ed ai figli. Purtroppo abbiamo dovuto acquistare l’edizione inglese poiché quella italiana è introvabile. Devo dire che le regole si capiscono piuttosto bene pur avendo un inglese un po’ più che scolastico. E poi ci sono i tutorial on line e qualche aiuto si trova.

   The best boardgame I’ve ever played. It’s a really amazing piece of art. The game components are made of high quality materials… I love the way it rides me how it to a fantasy world of powerful mage knights, orcs and dragon. Our quest it’s basically based on exploring and conquering fortified and adventure sites. Interacting, fighting and strategic planning will be required in order to suceed on our journey. The game mechanics are vast and complex, although when you have a couple of games played, you’ll be able to advance faster and in a totally enjoyable way. Mage Knight it’s going to be our all time familiar boardgame… my son son loves it… my little 4 yo girl, also likes it (even when she doesnt Leone how to play it), and I personally think it’s the best accquisition for my boardgame library. Initially I wanted to make a foamcore for it, but i found myself buying a plastic food containers whose perfectly fit for storing every Mage Knight accessories (cards, tokens, figure). After making a few cuts to the original plastic core of the box, all the game components fitted perfectly (watch the attached images).

   Mage Knight to me… is a hybrid game combining fantasy, exploration, adventure, RPG, conquest, etc… As they say in the world of hobby board gaming, “does a game scale well?”. Sadly Mage Knight really is best “solo” or with two players. There is so much to do on a player’s turn, waiting for YOUR turn can take a while with 3+ players. My suggestion is stick to 1-2 players with Mage Knight. Any game with a ton of images in it, is going to need multiple artists. You can see examples of this phenomena in Lord of the Rings LCG by Fantasy Flight as well. This “non-unity” in the art can be noticed in Mage Knight, but once you get into game play, it’s not really noticeable. The components in Mage Knight are fairly good with good linen stock on the cards and nice thick card stock for the hex map pieces. The dice however are a bit small, and I prefer 6 sided dice with rounded corners (but it really isn’t that important to the overall game-play). One of the things I like about a game is a mix of game mechanics and pieces. It’s seemingly all here, dice, nice looking cards, miniatures, etc etc. The dice mechanic used in “Mana-boosting”, gives the players additional choices on their turn to “power-up”, but doing so is limited and when to use this function is a tough choice. I also like how the cards can be played sideways for any three basic actions. Furthermore, I like how there are day and night rounds too and travelling through deserts (for example) can be better at night. How many games employ day and night functions? Mage Knight’s upgrades or “leveling up” generally works well and is exciting to see what new changes players can employ. One of Mage Knight’s biggest problems, are it’s rules and some of the card verbiage. I wonder if the European designer Vlaada Chvátil’s command of the English language was part of the problem. For myself, I abandoned the rules for YouTube instructional videos. Without those videos I would of given up on the game. The expansion to this game has made the game even better. If you can be patient enough with the steep learning, you’ll be rewarded with one of the best gaming experiences on the market!
