Black Rose Wars: Revised Edition

Rival mages build spell decks and wreck a shifting lodge for control.

A competitive magic duel in which every mage builds a personal deck from their own school while fighting for control of a lodge whose rooms shift around the battle.

Deck built from your magic schoolQueued actions resolve in orderModular lodge rooms take damage

Who it's for

Players who want direct magical conflict with deck-building depth and a board that visibly falls apart around them.

Not for you if…

You dislike direct attacks and take-that, or you want a peaceful engine builder with no player elimination pressure.

Vibe's take

Aggressive and theatrical – you plan a beautiful sequence, someone blows up the room you were standing in, and the improvisation is where the fun lives.
