Black Rose Wars is a tactical fighting game among aspiring mages striving to become the next Great Master of the Lodge. It's been developed over the past three years with solid mechanics, tried and tested at numerous trade shows, and many different groups of playtesters. The following guide will show you how to avoid failure when playing this game. You'll learn what to do before starting each mission, each stage, and after finishing them all together. This way, you'll be able to master the game and beat those who haven't mastered it yet! Remember: While this game looks simple at first glance, don't assume that it's not difficult if it doesn't look complicated! So read on and take these tips with you as soon as possible so you won't fail like I did when I first learned the game.
Let's start by looking into the basic rules of the game. The most important thing about the gameplay is that there aren't any special rules which make one style better than another; if anything, they're more equal since every method works well enough to give you an advantage over others. And besides, no matter where you choose to fight, none of the methods are exclusive from one another. This means that whatever type of attack you decide will work, whether you choose to use fireballs, magic, weapons, or melee attacks. Another great point regarding combat, in general, is that you don't need to worry much about equipment either, since almost everything has its purpose depending on the situation. For example, some items help you cast spells faster while others allow you to move around quickly without being slowed down. In Black Rose Wars, there are lots of different ways you can win. It's up to you to find the method that best suits your strategy, completing missions, defeating enemy mages, or destroying the rooms of the lodge. But beware... because the lodge may get the better of you.
Its rebirth is a competitive fantasy game of deck-building, strategy, and combat set in the hectic universe of Nova Aetas in Italy, for 1-4 players. Each player is one of the powerful mages of the Black Rose Order, who aspires to become the new Great Magister, to acquire the mighty power of the Black Rose Artifact and the Forgotten Magic. Each mage has at its disposal six schools of magic, each one with its strategy to annihilate its opponents and increase their power. Mages fight each other in a modular arena of hexagonal Room tiles. They summon powerful creatures, cast destructive spells, or devise dark deceptions with their enchantments.
Black Rose Wars: Rebirth represents a new challenge for the Ludus Magnus Studio creative team. All concepts and artwork have been created to immerse players in the mysterious and magical world of Black Rose Wars. It pits up to four players (six with future expansions) against one another as they compete to earn the title of Head Magister of the Order of the Black Rose. Naturally, this means a lot of spell-slinging destruction in what can frequently be a very chaotic but tight gaming experience. Each player begins the game by selecting their preferred mage who has some small variations among them. The core game includes four mages: Tessa, Rebecca, Jafar, and Nero, each with their health and maximum hand size values which vary only by a point or two between characters. For example, Tessa has eleven total hit points while Jaf'ar only hastens, but to make up for it, Jaf'ar has a maximum hand size of nine whereas Tessa's is limited to eight. While the stat differences may feel like they would have a significant impact, Black Rose Wars descends into magical chaos fairly quickly and these small differences are hardly noticeable and do little to shift the balance between characters. The governing mechanic that will determine a player's performance is their deck-building skills.
Black Rose Wars' varied library of spells is the real heart of the game. The base game has a total of six schools of magic, each with its strategies for winning. At the top of the game, players will select a school of magic from which they will create their starting hand based one on of two options per school. As the game progresses, players will have the opportunity to draft cards from other schools and try out some other options. Based on the Italian Renaissance, the fascinating mix of historical and fantasy elements is the key point of this setting. With Rebirth everything has been taken to an even higher level of spectacularity, with new artworks and renewed graphic layout that manages to make every single element of the game elegant, functional, and qualitatively superior.
Summonings is a series of three all-miniature expansions for Black Rose Wars, which introduces three kinds of summoning creatures: Constructs, Undead, and Demons. Summonings: Undead is one of these miniature expansions, featuring a set of summoned creatures that your mage can bring into play. Previously only available in the Kickstarter version of the game, these beautiful figures are now available to upgrade and visually enhance the Black Rose Wars Core Game. They are also a great complement to any fantasy role-playing game. Each set of miniatures is vastly different from the others. The Undead allows players to lead their army of loyal skeleton warriors, composed of 11 incredible miniatures.
Playing Black Rose Wars can be just as much of a psychology game as any other, and so much satisfaction can be found in a plan. At one point, I spoiled one particular player's plans so consistently that he made a point of making me his primary target during our last game. Knowing that he loves the Destruction class, I specifically chose the combination of Necromancy and Illusion, knowing that I could spend most of the game baiting him into traps. However, he left me alone for much of the game as he built a deck of high-powered spells he planned to annihilate me with. Meanwhile, I was building up a repertoire of defensive spells that would turn the damage back on him. When he finally felt comfortable enough to come for me, he fell perfectly into my trap and his spell backfired, killing him. It's the moments like this that make Black Rose Wars worth every penny.
