The Scepter of Zavandor

Z-Man second edition. Fantasy game which reuses the excellent auction and development system in the classic, Outpost. Players take the roles of mages who develop their magic powers by gaining magical gems, which in turn produce more magical power. Also different areas of knowledge need to be developed to gain VPs and make further options possible. Various artifacts can be bought which give a selection of different special powers and victory points and ultimately players will need to buy sentinels which are the key to victory. The central mechanism is an auction of the artifacts currently available, and knowing when to spend and when to save is crucial. Recommended. UK postage flat fee £4 for 1st game, £7 for 2 games or more. All games shipped UK Royal Mail tracked 48. Non UK postage by request. No postage cost if picking up at one of my open days.
