About this product

Build your spell deck, gather Mana and outplay your opponent in a tense magical duel.

Product Description

Mage Noir is a strategic 2-player card game where two powerful mages face off in a duel of elements, spells and smart timing. Instead of relying only on lucky draws, you build your deck, manage Mana, prepare spells and combine card effects to reduce your opponent’s Health Points to zero.

Every card is a spell, and each element brings its own playstyle. Fire hits hard, Water adapts, Air creates fast combos and Vegetal grows into a powerful threat if left unchecked. With deckbuilding, hand management and a shared Mana system, Mage Noir gives strategy lovers a sharp, replayable card battle with plenty of room to experiment.
