Rivality

A territory-control game has rival mages place tiles to march golems and claim the most valuable areas around a mana spring. Each placement can redirect forces, so control of the source depends on careful board geometry.

Read the full game description

For centuries, the colorful mana spring has been a sanctuary for magicians to gather and draw new strength — but great power often breeds great greed. For a long time it was peaceful in the forest around the spring, but now you can hear the first golems walking heavily towards them, and the mages will wrestle with their armies of golems for control of the Source, for whoever controls them controls all magic in the land. Rivality is a territory control game. Place your tiles wisely to let the golems march and get the most valuable areas at the end of the game! —description from the publisher
