Mageling (2019)

About this game

From the publisher: Mageling is a dice placement, engine-building, adventure game for 1-4 players that can be played competitively or cooperatively. Take on the role of a young Mageling as you embark upon a perilous quest to save the Evertree! Use custom dice to activate spells, relics, creatures and allies as you battle the dark forces of the Tempest in five unique locations.​ ​ You will need all of your wits, and maybe a little help from your friends, to overcome the challenges of your journey and prevail in a final showdown of arcane sorcery!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
