    GAME mechanics

    • Programmed Movement - Each player must plan their moves in advance, writing down their actions for the next turn. This adds strategy to the game, as it forces players to anticipate opponents' moves and future events. Imagine yourself in a magical forest, calculating each move as if it were a game of chess against nature itself.
    • Simultaneous Action Selection - In this game, all players choose their actions at the same time. This mechanic creates tension and unpredictability, since no one knows the decisions of the others until they are all revealed. It's like trying to guess the next move of a master illusionist.
    • Players with Different Skills - Each character has unique abilities, which influence the players' strategic approach. This diversity allows for unique experiences, encouraging exploration and adaptation throughout the game. Think of becoming the hero of a fantastic saga where every decision carries the weight of an epic mission.
    • Rock, Paper and Scissors - The resolution of combats and encounters follows a rock, paper and scissors dynamic, where each choice has strengths and weaknesses. This element simplifies the complexity of confrontations, turning them into a game of intuition and perfect timing. Imagine winning a battle with the simplicity of a cleverly applied move.
    • RPG - Magic Realm is immersive, allowing players to live a journey in a fantastic world, as the protagonists of a storybook. Narratives unfold with every decision, making you feel part of an ancient legend. Get ready to write your destiny, facing challenges as if you were living in a breathtaking fantasy world.
    • Modular Tray - The game has a board that can be rearranged in countless ways, giving you a different experience every time you play. This variation offers a unique longevity, as each session is a new challenge, like exploring lands never seen before in your magical adventures.
