Res Arcana Duo by successful author Tom Lehmann is a stand-alone game for 2 people and the perfect introduction to the world of Res Arcana. You compete against each other as two alchemical magicians and vie for victory, but you only have 8 cards at your disposal. Experienced magicians can use the new artefacts, monuments and places of power as expansions for the basic game and all existing expansions, making the gaming experience even more magical. Beautiful illustrations and new card effects bring a breath of fresh air for newcomers and die-hard Res Arcana fans alike.
