A look at the phases of the game in detail phase 1:

In each round of the game there are six phases.  Players complete each phase at the same time before moving onto another phase.
The six phases are:
1) Acquire magic and select the lead player
2)Add cards to your spell book
3)Play Mages
4)Battle
5)Check for victory conditions

Phase one is the topic of this entry.  Acquiring magic is done by counting up how much magic you are in control of.  Each land is worth a certain amount of magic.  Villages are worth 2 each, Cities are worth 3 each, Castles are worth 4 each and a Tower earns you 4 magic each.  In addition to this for each seat you hold on the council you gain an additional 2 magic.  You take the amount of magic you are in control of from the bank at this time.  All players complete this at the same time.
Players now roll a die.  Whoever rolls highest becomes the lead player for the round.  The lead player breaks ties and makes decisions when there are disputes.  You may only be the lead player for one round.  Then you can not qualify for rolling again until all other players have had the chance to be a lead player.

More to come.........

The Dice

Each player rolls up to five dice each battle depending upon what kinds of creatures they have in the battle.  A side with an ax on it inflicts damage in the amount shown.  A side with a shield on it deflects damage inflicted upon you.  The null symbol means that nothing happens with this side.  However, there are deadly creatures and spells that utilize this symbol to add twists and or inflict massive amounts of damage.  Finally the symbol with an ax and a shield on it lets you pick an ax or a deflect depending upon what you are in more need of.

James Pruett at majesticmarkings.com custom engraved the dice for the prototype of this game.  Pictures of the engraved dice will soon be posted on this blog.  If you would like to contact James e-mail him at majesticmarkings@gmail.com.  He can laser engrave anything and it turns out awesome.  Thanks James!!!!!
