Magic: The Gathering Arena OF THE PLANESWALKERS

Schatten über Innistrad

Magic: The Gathering Arena of the Planeswalkers is the first game in the series, a fantasy miniatures tabletop based on the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering. The game board – the Arena of the Planeswalkers – is created from six landscape boards and equipped with landscape elements and Glyphs; each player chooses a Planeswalker miniature. You use Spell cards, army cards, dice and other components and do not need any knowledge of Magic the Gathering, even though key elements of the game are based on the collectible card game.

The expansion Schatten über Innistrad is a stand-alone game as well as an expansion for Arena of the Planeswalker. The background story tells of the fight against an Archangel who is beginning to attack humans instead of protecting them, the fight of the Humans against the threats of Innistrad – werewolves, vampires or ghosts. New, compared to the core game, are multi-color planeswalkers, who can assemble their spell decks and armies from the sources of more than one color. Special abilities and characteristics in Magic: The Gathering are connected to colors.

Some characters can transform, there are double-sided terrain tiles, bizarre terrain cases and also Cryptoliths, which are rocks that you can climb for height advantages and which can give you bonuses and special abilities. Glyphs in this version are Healing and Recall.

New planeswalkers are a Mental Mage, a Vampire, a Lithomancer from Zendikar and a female Werewolf as Archmage of Church of Avacyn.

An attractive and very intense expansion that will enchant both newbies and those familiar with the core game.
