Mons and Mages | Overview

About Mons and Mages, from BoardGameGeek:

Players take on the role of seasoned wizards and compete with each other in the triannual ‘Mons And Mages' tournament. Traverse the land to recruit mystical monsters - or mons - into your team, combine their unique abilities, and create the most powerful combo moves to strike down your opponents' healthcore. Defeat all other wizards and rise to the most prestigious title: The Domitor. Mons And Mages is a competitive, medium-weight, engine-building and card combo-ing board game about taming and training monsters. In this world, monsters are wild creatures with extremely strong characteristics and disorderly nature. They always act on their own will and no wizard could ever control them or make them obey. Mechanically, attracting a monster into your team will create a special synergy with others. So, players must be able to mix and match their monsters' unpredictable powers in a clever way to create the most impressive combos and outplay all their opponents. -description from the designer
