Our take on Mage Hunters
The defining constraint is the time counter: three Hunters must capture every mage before it reaches its final position, while dice determine which character can act and how the mission develops.
What is Mage Hunters?
Mage Hunters is a strategy game built around capturing and eliminating enemy mages.
Players control three Hunters and roll dice to select a character: results from 1 to 3 select a warrior, while 4 to 6 select a mage. When a warrior is selected, another roll can reposition it for a capture, or a card can be taken to apply a special power. The objective is to remove every mage before the time counter reaches its final position. The game combines board-game-style capture mechanics with video-game presentation, including graphics and a soundtrack. Its structure uses strategic decisions, dice outcomes, cards, and a fixed time constraint.
