Some Conjure cards have Quickcast which allows them to be played at any time, whether it is your turn or not. They have a cost, an effect, and then enter the graveyard. Likewise if they attempt to draw a card from their deck and have none, they lose the game.Ĭonjure cards are basically Chants (Force of Will) or Spells (Magic: The Gathering). If your opponent has no card in their Orb Zone when you hit them they lose the game. Some cards will have a Break ability which is a special action that takes place only if you drew the card from the Orb Zone. Some Servants will corrupt more than one orb when hitting a player. If you manage to hit your opposing player then you ‘corrupt an orb’, one of seven cards placed to the side of the game at the beginning of play. This cannot be done if the Servant is rested and may not be done more than once per turn. Once per turn you may flip a Servant from the Reverse to Recovered position or Recovered to Reverse. If attacking a reversed Servant, the attacking Servant compares its attack value to the defending Servants defence value instead.
If the defender is higher or the values are tied then the defender wins and nothing happens. If the attacker has a higher value the defending Servant dies. If attacking a recovered or rested Servant, players compare the attack value on each card. As far as we were able to determine, Servants have no ‘summoning sickness’ or delay on entering the fray and will attack immediately. When a Servant attacks, you may choose to have it attack an enemy Servant or the enemy player, however you may only attack the enemy player if they have no reversed Servants (essentially you need to sweep away the defenders first). Reversed Servants do not and can not attack they are used only for defence. During your Battle Phase all recovered Servants must attack (one at a time). They enter the battlefield either the right way up (recovered) or upside down (reverse). Servants are essentially Resonators (Force of Will) or Creatures (Magic: The Gathering). In the demonstration deck I didn’t come across any cards that required more than one aether match. When playing Servants, Conjures or Barriers you will need to rest a number of Casters equal to the card cost and at least one of those Casters must match the element of the card being played. You may place a level two version of a caster on top of an existing level one version on the battlefield, effectively upgrading it. You may play any card from your hand face down as a level one Caster that will produce aether of no element. You may only have one of each specific Caster on the field. These typically also have another rest ability of some type. The Caster is essentially Stones (Force of Will) or Land (Magic: The Gathering) which can be rested to produce aether of the same element (in the case of the demonstration deck it all appears to be Ignus). Of that, each card will be either a Caster, Servant, Conjure or Barrier.
Presently I was unable to find a more comprehensive rulebook online so please forgive me if I’ve made any mistakes.ĭecks are made up of exactly 50 cards. The demo kit includes an A3 rules sheet / playmat that I’m not going to copy verbatim but instead give you a simple rundown. I managed to have a few games with my local Force of Will community and thought I might explain the basics of the game and my thoughts on it for those unable to give the game a play themselves at their local gaming store. While the game won’t be available for purchase until later this year (October 20th I believe), demonstration decks have made their way out to Australian stores and I was lucky enough to get my hands on one. The Caster Chronicles is sure to push your strategy, will, and magic to the absolute limit!” Assemble your Casters and call Servants in this exciting and engaging new card game system. Girls form magical contracts and participate in magical battles using enchanted cards in this exciting new card game from the creators of Force of Will. “A mysterious academy hides a dark secret. In fact I’m not entirely sure it’s based on anything and, like it’s older sibling Force of Will, it may be an entirely new IP. As far as I can tell, it has nothing to do with the series of books by the same name nor the movie Beautiful Creatures which is based on those books. The Caster Chronicles is a brand new trading card game from the team that brought us Force of Will.
