Plays on its own. Also works with Res Arcana.
Two rival mages duel in a compact card game of essence management and arcane power, drafting artifacts, summoning dragons, and racing to claim Places of Power. Res Arcana: Duo is a standalone two-player version of the acclaimed Res Arcana, featuring a new drafting method tailored specifically for the head-to-head experience. It is also fully compatible with the original game and its expansions for even more variety.
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. · 2019
