Masquerade

Players represent weird mythical forces who decide to play a game instead of destroying the world. Each player selects a “mask” which gives him a secret victory bonus that can be revealed at the cost of victory points. Each player now selects a “dancer” to represent him who has different abilities and strengths, and also a place where he puts his dancer to be active, and which allows different actions. Spell cards are very important, there are also event cards, and all in all an astonishing multitude of combinations of cards and effects. The game ends when all monsters are vanquished, all event cards are played or the spell stack has been used up a number of times.
