Tower Siege (2000)

About this game

Tower Siege is an non-collectible customizable card game of strategy, luck, and ruthlessness. Players control a powerful Mage and soon find themselves immersed in a struggle for survival. The Mages battle against one another with the aid of Minions, Items, Scrolls, and Relics. These cards offer the player many strategic options, as well as the use of dice, to determine the outcome of combat. Players try to keep their Tower intact and their Mage alive. The last Mage standing wins the game. Expanded by: Tower Siege Expansion: Elemental Adversaries Tower Siege Expansion: Fiendish Foes Tower Siege Expansion: Thaylen's Rogues

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 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.
