Mystic Vale Vale of Magic Expansion - AEG, Card Game, Card-Crafting, Protect Nature with Magic Power, Unique Clear Cards, 2 to 4 Players, 45 Minute Playtime, Ages 14 and Up

This is the first expansion to Mystic Vale which is one of my favorite games. If you don't know what the original game is like, you'll have to check reviews of that, but the basic concept is instead of adding more cards into your deck like a traditional deck builder, you add expansions to your cards by sliding them into sleeves.As for this expansion, it's just fine, it adds a lot more variety to the game, but it doesn't really introduce anything fundamentally new to the game. It really is just a booster for the vanilla game, so if you've kinda seen all the cards in the vanilla set and want more, this is a solid expansion. However with the release of Vale of the Wild, which DOES have new mechanics, I'd say this is not essential to own, just nice if you play the game a lot (which we do).

We are a family of gamers and we have closets of board games. This one quickly became our favorite. As my daughter says, it is a perfect nerd fest. Deck building - check. Deep strategy - check. Great art - check. Interesting theme - check. And you get to collect cards and fit them in sleeves and build new and creative combos every game. Nerd alert!

Love the game, and the options added with this expansion are great.The "Guardian Symbols matter" strategy is one that never really came together with other expansions, but Vale of Magic adds a couple of key pieces that make it MUCH more doable than before

A really fun take on the "deck building" genre of games. This one is a CARD builder. Theme is a little pasted on, but you can keep it in mind as you play this really fun game. Every game plays differently as you try to build your Vale to be stronger and more effective than your opponent's.

More of the same. I look for an expansion to add some new element to a game. I love the idea of literally building a card as you play, but this expansion adds nothing but more cards that all play the same way. They should just add these new cards to the original set in future printing. Not an expansion in my book.

Introduces the concept of leaders as well as adding more vale and advancement cards. Leaders has become a must when we play.

Love this game, so much fun. The new cards are interesting and definitely add some great new abilities to choose from

Just adds more stuff to the base game, but that is not a bad thing. fun addictive game.

Great
