What is Manacaster?
Manacaster is a tabletop card-battle game for two players. It was designed with an emphasis on balanced gameplay and rewarding skillful play. Here are three things you should know about our game:
Balanced Gameplay = Brilliant Victories: The Power and Mana Cost of every single card and ability in Manacaster is carefully calibrated according to a strict mathematical algorithm, leading to intense, evenly-matched battles that keep you on the edge of your seat until the final moment of victory...or defeat.
Digital + Tabletop = Play Your Way: We have built a digital clone of the tabletop edition of Manacaster which plays identically. Ensuring a consistent experience between digital and physical was a top priority as we designed and streamlined our game's rules.
Streamlined Gameplay = Rewarding Skillful Players: In Manacaster, your ability as a player is the most important factor. For example, players are given a large set of choices when selecting their starting hand, both players deploy a Mana resource of their choice every single turn, but only one player can attack the other.
