Arcana Magica

As a creator and first rater I'd say it is a game that's played fast, has enough deepness and variety for me to continue play-testing with pleasure despite the hours spent with it. The dice throwing could be a turn-off for heavy euro gamers, but as over the casual gamer myself I find the combination between the art, the gameplay and the replayability quite satisfying. Wouldn't produce a game that didn't meet my high criteria and I think Arcana Magica does it.

Very entertaining, both for shorter sessions as well as long ones, thanks to the engaging game-play and stunning game art. The rules are stream-lined and after the first game easy enough to follow even for new players, without sacrificing the novelty of each consecutive play-through. Great for the strategy enthusiast and the casual gamer alike
