Res Arcana
Mages draft eight artifact cards from a shared pool and spend the entire game chaining their unique powers together to produce essences, control magical places of power, and build the most efficient engine. Unlike most engine-builders, your full hand is available from the start — drafting and combo recognition during setup are where the game is really won. Fast-playing and tactically rich, with a fantasy-alchemical aesthetic far removed from Race for the Galaxy despite sharing the same designer.
