Table of Contents - Mega Miniatures

Magic Challenge is a free short 5-page download from
Excalibur Miniaturen. Of the five pages that you’ll
download only three make up the rules to a fantasy
miniatures game of combat between rival wizards. To
play the game you’ll need, in addition to the rules, at least
one d20, a tape measure with cm markings, miniatures of
wizards and those of creatures that you’ll be summoning.
Magic Challenge is definitely a work in progress from
Excalibur and it’s billed as such. What you can download
is really the basics of a growing system. In the game each
player controls a wizard that can cast generic offensive,
defensive and summoning spells.
The creatures that can be summoned currently fall into
one of four types (Goblins, Orcs, Amazons, or Movable
Siege Weapons). The Excalibur website does make note
that new summoned races are in the works though.
The game is very, and I mean very, generic and is not yet
suited for competitive play, but with further updates it
could be. It’s an entertaining roll around the game table
and for free you could do a lot worse.

As you would expect for a game that is not 100%
developed there are some rough edges and it’s also
translated to English from German so there are some
awkward sentences, but nothing that you cannot get
through with a second reading.
Each turn, your magicians can do two things; move and
cast spells. Each magician has a protective magic shield
that you are trying to deplete and a pool of spell points
which are used to power the spells they wish to cast or
some can be saved from one turn to the next.
