Chimerium

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In a magic-infused Victorian era, industrialisation threatens to sever ties to the Mystical Dimension. Within her extraordinary library, the Chimerium, Archmage Sapphia Lorekeeper safeguards the knowledge required to create Chimeras. As a Guild magician, you must shape these wondrous creatures from imagination and chaos to revitalise a fading world and repel the mechanical darkness.

1-4 Players | 45-60 Mins | Ages 14+

During the game, players will use their dice to study creatures, acquire Artifacts, or target specific locations in the Nexus to release their Chimeras. They must skilfully manage their gems and scrolls to modify these dice and create devastating combinations in their laboratory.

Timing is everything! To release a Chimera at the perfect moment, you must draft a die of the correct value or use your elixirs to manipulate the Nexus. Every choice influences your standing in the area majority battles, so adapt your strategy, watch your opponents, and win the favour of the Guild.
