Enter a world of powerful mages, ancient monuments and magical creatures in Res Arcana. Compete as an alchemical mage using Life, Death, Elan, Calm and Gold essences to craft artefacts, activate extraordinary powers and build a winning magical engine.

Every player receives a focused personal deck of just eight artefacts, making it important to find the strongest combinations among the cards available.
