ZZZ Maleficium Old

You hear the voices on the wind, and they tell you of such wonders. How much can you trust them? It’s up to you to figure out as you walk the line between supreme power and total madness. Maleficium is an immersive game of spell-casting set in the ancient world. Develop your unique abilities as an Alchemist, Necromancer, Goeteist, Earth Priestess, Sybil, or Erinyes. Dominate though raising legions of monsters, reading the ordained fate of your opponents in the stars, drawing forth the power of transmutation, wielding the divine anger of the gods, or reading the true name of creation. Of course, you will almost certainly go insane. But what is your mental health for if not to hemorrhage out of your ears in the pursuit of power?

Maleficium is a competitive game for 2-6 players, with no player elimination. The distribution of negative points, instead of the pursuit of positive points, encourages closer games than traditional table-top fare; as does a trading mechanic, and the incentives to cast beneficial spells on each other built into the mechanics of the game. The mechanics are as simple as knowing odd from even, but the problem solving is very deep. Plus it’s a ton of fun!
