Mage Wars® is designed by Bryan Pope and his sggc Arcane Wonders, and will be published by Elfinwerks. The game is scheduled for release next year, but you can see a demo at Origins next week. It’s a fantasy combat card-driven board game; what else do you need to know?
What I find funny here is the registered trademark for “Mage Wars”. “Mage Wars” is currently used by Avalon Games for a series of mini-games. The term is also associated with a series from Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon, the name a period in the Discworld universe, and the name for a game in development by someone named Tyrell.
Update: See the comment by Avalon Games.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Avalon Games and Mr. Pope came to an agreement about the title where Avalon forgo the use of the title Mage Wars. It ended up being a good deal for everyone involved and we here at Avalon Games hope all the best for Mr. Pope’s game and sucess, we are sure it will be a blast of a game.
Thank you , Robert.
