The majority of board games are printed / manufactured in China. The next largest segment are produced in Germany.

Trying to not sound sarcastic here, but that doesn't address what is on the box. The majority may be in China and Germany. The box states "Proudly made in the USA".  I would like to think that made in the USA means that and not PR speak for we assemble the items we get from other countries in a box here. If the assembling part is the case, they may have lost a customer. Not because it was specifically made in China/Germany, (I own plenty of things from those countries) but because that wasn't what was on the box.

Made in the USA is a legal country of origin declaration. The Federal Trade Commission requires that products marketed as MitUSA meet either the "all" or "virtually all" standard.

I can take the fun out of anything. It's true; here, look at this spreadsheet.

Updated with cover art revealed today.

Also this image (a dragon mage surrounded by orbs? Or is that a "Ssslaak"?).

So... are there any new mages included in the "Mage Wars: Arena: Battlegrounds: Domination" (is that really a sub-sub-subtitle?) expansion?

*edit*  I'll take your silence as confirmation.  ;)

Or did Archmage and Battlegrounds get lumped together (e.g. another play mode in the same box)?

...

Probably not, or else it would be titled "Mage Wars: Arena: Battlegrounds: Archmage: Domination." ;)

The BATTLEGROUNDS: DOMINATION expansion is for the MAGE WARS: ARENA game. Really weren't trying to land of a million titles. :-D

Very minor spoiler posted at an online game store:



The left-most card is an Enchantment with the same art as the box cover.  Looks like "Astral Anchor," which might be like a [mwcard=MW1E16]Force Hold[/mwcard] that prevents teleport, magically binding a creature to a zone or object?

The second card is an Attack with cost 12, full action, looks like it's called "V'Tarian Energy ___" or something like that.  Ranged attack.  Might be wind related (from the art).

The third card is a Warlock only legendary creature ("Skeelax, Taunting Imp"?), costs 11, Flame -2, quick attack of 2 plus a condition roll, has a defense and (1?) armour, and given the name, this could be similar to the Beastmaster's [mwcard=MW1C33]Sosruko[/mwcard]. Hard to make out the text but definitely says something about Regenerate 2 (in bold).  Maybe:
"During the upkeep phase, when Skeelax is in the same zone as an object with a Burn condition (?), he gains the Regenerate 2 trait."  Or maybe "revealed enchantment" "Dark conjuration"?


*edit*
Also included a brief description of the expansion:

"Mage Wars Battlegrounds Domination introduces new "puzzle cut" tiles for players to create their own custom Arena layouts as well as new scenario play for Domination mode, where players vie to control powerful V'tar orbs in the Arena, granting them new powers and abilities!"

The first word of the first card is "Astral".

I know what that card is. It's pretty good.

I think you will be most pleased when it comes out.
