Solid Fiction Announces Kickstarter Campaign to Fund MAGE CODEX Card Game

    WICHITA, KS, November 14, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Solid Fiction has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund MAGE CODEX, a cutthroat game of strategic deck-building and fluid tactical combat set in a fantasy universe. The campaign began on November 7 and will run through December 7, 2014.

Tabletop gamers familiar with the deck-building mechanics of Legendary Marvel and Dominion and the intense competition of games like Magic: The Gathering and Android: Netrunner will find something familiar in Mage Codex.

Mage Codex has been in development and play-testing for over 2 years. The game's rules and artwork are complete as of the Kickstarter campaign's launch. The campaign features the game at $30 with an early bird option at $27. Individuals in the US will have free shipping. There are also options for residents in Canada and the rest of the world.

About the game:

Long ago, a group of heroic mages overthrew a great darkness that had ruled the land for millennia untold. But, the darkness was not complete destroyed. Betrayed by one of their own, the heroes became trapped within the pages of the Mage Codex. Only Absilon of the Iron Shield, former leader of the heroes, was not deceived and defeated the betrayer.

But, Absilon could not free his comrades, so he destroyed the tome, scattering the pages across the planet. He and the heroes of old have since been forgotten, but the pages remain. Whether to protect the ones they love or eradicate those foolish enough to get in their way, a new breed of mages has arisen wielding the pages as tools of restoration and destruction.

In Mage Codex, you play as one of four (4) mages. Each as their own unique passive ability that gives them an edge over the others. The game has two main stages: deck construction and combat. In addition to the passive abilities, each mage has an affinity for certain types of cards adding a strategic element to deck construction.

Once combat starts, players battle it out with the goal of eliminating the other players' decks. The last mage standing is the victor. Will you have the cunning and grit to defeat the other mages in all-out battle?

Number of players: 2-4
Time required: 45 min
Recommended ages: 10+
