Mage Dice is a speed, memory, dice rolling, puzzle building board game playable at any experience level. Play styles can vary from fast paced and frantic to slow and methodical. It is up to each Apprentice to decide how they will complete their Spell Puzzle.
As an Apprentice Mage you gather Essence with your dice. That Essence is used to examine face down Puzzle Shards in the Nether on the game board. If you reveal a Puzzle Shard that matches your dice color, you may place it face up in front of you. If you reveal a Puzzle Shard that does not match your dice color, you must place it face down back in the Nether. The Apprentice who reveals all their Puzzle Shards and completes their Spell Puzzle first, wins the game.
