For thousands of years nations have fought for mana wells, which are now essential to modern life.
Each nation has unique weapons, talents, and battlefield-warping effects to emerge victorious.
But be careful, each opponent may have a few tricks they've picked up from another nation...

A discovery at an ancient vault may be the last hope of a people driven underground...

Design Philosophy

Light on Core Rules: You shouldn't have to spend hours teaching a game before you can play.Gradually build complexity: Each class begins with low complexity actions in order to make getting started easy. Over the course of the campaign, players unlock new actions, gather resources, and complete challenges that add layers of strategy. Discover new combos while adapting to every unique encounter thrown your way!Story is a Feature not a Flavor: Many board games contain only a light, loosely connected narrative. In Mana Source the story, characters, and various twists are a focal point. The story favors a tight, high-quality narrative of over 140,000 words across 25 scenarios that you'll remember for years to come.
