Anytime that you destroy an enemy unit or wall, it gets sent to your magic pile and can be used to pay for summoning new units later in the game. Over the course of the game you take turns drawing up to five cards, summoning new units, playing event cards (more on these later,) moving, and attacking the enemy units. The starting setup will include your summoner, a wall, and a few common units. The best way I can describe it in one line is "Chess meets Magic the Gathering." It is played on a 6x8 grid board (see above.) Each player must select a faction to play with (there are 16 different factions currently.) Each faction has its own deck and starting setup.
Summoner Wars is a tactical board game best played with two players, but is expandable to four players. Hope to post again soon and keep a more regular schedule of updates, as always thanks for reading.
I have seen multiple confirmations that every faction will still be getting a second summoner, but they will just not be released until after Alliances.Īnother smaller bit of news, Summoner Wars is now available for download on Android devices including kindle fire! the app is also cross compatible with the iOS app for apple products, so you can play your friends no matter which platform they enjoy. One important thing to note is that this WILL be the next Summoner Wars release, which means no more second summoners until after October. However some of the pairing as less obvious, such as Filth and Cave Goblins (which I've read that in the story line the Filth have actually enslaved the Cave Goblins.)įor now there is not much else to do other than wait for some previews.
Both shadow and jungle elves like to work an assassination strategy. Deep Dwarves and Benders just to sit back and pull off some magic combos. Vanguard and Mountain Vargath both use a lot of formation tactics. Some of the pairings have some obvious synergy. This is going to give you an amazing amount of choices when deck building an Alliances deck.
Beyond giving us 8 full new decks to play with, you may also use any cards from either of the combined factions to deck build. As you might have guessed, this set is going to be similar to the Master Set as it will contain 8 brand new pre-constructed decks that each combined two of the existing factions into one allied deck. After a long break, we are back! It is times to take a look at the big news in the world of Summoner Wars, a new box set to release in October, Alliances.
