Tash Kalar - High Form

Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends is a game played by masters of magic. Two summoners or four summoners in teams of two encounter each other in the Tash-Kalar arena and prove their skill and strategy in a short but intense battle. By clever deployment of their minions, they create magic patterns for summoning powerful beings, and then use those to destroy their opponent’s forces or to prepare patterns for the ultimate legendary beings. The game includes three different factions, each with a unique deck of beings to summon and one deck of legendary creatures. Players take turns placing their common pieces on the board, and if they succeed in creating patterns depicted on one of the cards in hand, they may play it. When played, the card summons a particular being and allows the player to perform an effect described on the card: a giant destroys neighboring pieces, a knight moves through enemy pieces, a warlord orders previously placed pieces to move and fight, an enchantress converts enemy pieces to player's own color, etc. After that, the player discards the card and the summoned being turns into a motionless piece which may be used in patterns for summoning other beings – or even be awakened and moved into combat by the effects of other cards. Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends offers two game modes. This is the Standard or "High" form. It can be played as a two-player duel or as a team game with teammates sharing pieces and legendary cards, but with each controlling their own faction. (The game includes a duplicate of one faction in a different color.) The rules of Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends are simple and easy to understand, but as you start to discover the tactics and are able to anticipate the opponent's moves and patterns, it turns into a real clash of wits.
