Mage War, First Edition 1.1 (revised) - The First Free TCG

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Hey TCG Players,
Ever wanted a Trading Card Game that was FREE?

Well, I present to you Mage War, the first Free AND first Custom TCG!  
Check out the free PDF of the complete rulebook

Youtube channel for Mage War:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuSYm5sWqfTDErw2pL7VukQ

Hardcover Option: (not currently available)
If you'd like to have these rules in hardcover and support this game then feel free to purchase a copy - I would greatly appreciate it.  The interior of this hardcover version is exactly the same as the free pdf although due to formatting there is an added blank page after the Table of Contents so the page count is one different than the pdf.

Template cards available:

Mage War features:

+A point-buy system to create cards however you want, including how they look

+Rules are simple enough for casual play but also designed to be competitive and tournament-ready

+No official cards, only official rules (rules are free); you make your own cards and only spend what you want to on that
(you could play with proxies over junk cards in sleeves, design and print your own decks through pay-to-print services, or pretty much anything in between; to playtest this I bought blank cards and wrote on them with an ultra-fine sharpie and another playtester used proxies, both would be tournament legal)

+You can sell decks/cubes you design and print commercially without paying me any royalties (this does not apply to selling the rulebook; see "FUTURE EDITIONS" section in the rulebook for further details as well as my Youtube channel)

+Included in this game are optional rules for you to play an Alignment with your deck

+Also included in this game are optional Global Abilities which currently feature a seasonal/holiday theme

+There will definitely be future editions that will add more cool stuff to the game without breaking it, unbalancing it, creating power creep, or making it unnecessarily complicated – just more fun (although you do use The Stack, and Priority)

Enjoy!
-Marc Wolff

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
