This is an adaption of the Arcomage card game on the DS. Arcomage is a Heroic Fantasy type card game, which made its first appearance in the PC role-playing game Might & Magic VII, as a side game/quest that was played in the various taverns of the game. Subsequently, 3DO and Ubi Soft made it a full-fledged PC game, in the form of Shareware.

It was presented in the NEO Summer Coding Compo 2006 (NDS/GBA Games, 3rd place).

User guide

There are several online guides for Arcomage if you are lost, but since the DS version is slightly different, here’s how to play:

  • You start, you and your enemy, with a Castle of a certain Height and a Wall, protecting it.
  • Your goal is to destroy enemy's Castle before he destroy yours, or reach a value of 100 for your Castle.

For this you've got 3 types of resources, each grows according to resources generators you own:

  • Temple - Mana.
  • Quarries - Stone.
  • Gold Mines - Gold.

For example, if you own 2 Temples, 3 Quarries and 1 Gold Mine, you'll get 2 Mana, 3 Stones and 1 Gold each turn. To reach your goal, you've got a hand of 6 cards, which have different effects. Each card need a certain amount of resources to be played:

  • If you have enough resources, play your chosen card. Otherwise, the card can't be played.
  • If you can't play a card or don't want a card, you can discard it.
  • Once you've played a card (or discarded it), it's computer turn.
  • After each turn, you get a new card to play.

And so on, until you win, or lose?

Controls

Stylus or A - Play selected card
