Essence of the Arcane

Description

Essence of the Arcane is an easy to learn, abstract strategy game for 2 players that takes roughly 5-10 minutes to play, in which you control motes of magical energy, fighting for dominion. The goal of the game is to eliminate all of you opponent’s motes. This is done through a variety of actions, which allow your motes to move, attack, heal, split, and grow in power. All the while, your movement is hindered by the void. An area in the middle of the board where magic can not exist. —description from the designer
