Artifacts of Power: More About Grand Tribunal

Every 33 years, the Grand Tribunal meets to judge the magical creations of wizards hoping to be promoted to archmage. In Grand Tribunal, you play one of these magi, working to create the best artifact…and prohibit your competitors from creating something better.

Grand Tribunal is a resource management game. Players manage multiple resources — Votes, Vis, and cards — with a limited number of actions each turn.

Will you focus on completing your Fulgarous Orb or will you muddle your opponent’s wits with a Fog of Confusion? Will you vote for the correct item types to make your creations shine before the Grand Tribunal?

The game is set in the world of the award-winning RPG, Ars Magica. Players do not need to be familiar with the RPG, although fans of the game will recognize many familiar elements and themes.
