Arena of the Planeswalkers
The, as yet unnamed, Magic: The Gathering Strategy Board Game is a tactical miniatures game for 2-5 players, inspired by the Magic: The Gathering card game.[1] [2] [3] It is co-developed by Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro. The final name will be announced at a later date. The game will be globally available in Fall 2015.
The Strategy Board Game pays homage to the TCG by including many elements and references to the card game, but no prior knowledge of Magic is needed to play the game. The players are one of five planeswalkers, they summon armies, cast game-changing [spells]], and try to outmaneuver their foes on the battlefield. The players customize the battlefield by designing the map, placing terrain and powerful glyphs.
