Summoner Wars is a fast-playing, action-packed card game for 2-4 players set on the war-torn planet Itharia, where players embody Summoners—powerful beings who harness mysterious Summoning Stones to lead their race in a struggle for supremacy. As both mage and general, players wield devastating magic, including freezing enemies, draining power, raining fire from the heavens, and summoning hordes of warriors to clash on the battlefield. The Master Set introduces six complete, distinct factions: Shadow Elves (conceal plans in darkness), Benders (turn enemy troops against them), Vargath (mountainous goatfolk calling lightning), Sand Goblins (malicious trickery), Deep Dwarves (geomancy control), and Swamp Orcs (vine-snaring hacks). Strategy defines deck composition and card usage, while tactics dictate battlefield effectiveness—summoning protective stone walls as portals, surging forces against foes, and casting spells to bolster allies or eliminate threats. Victory demands clever integration of magic and maneuvers to slay the opponent's Summoner.
