Inspired by a comment made on my interaction aid, this is an attempt to cross-reference all the different things you can get and where and how to get them.

Solo or Competitive Scenario for 2 to 4 players with no PvP combat. Each young Mage Knight must prove themselves on a mission to subdue an apostate city in rebellion against the Council of Mages.

I’ve had great fun playing this scenario multi-handed, pitting one mage knight against another. Since it is more indirectly competitive, it’s very natural to do your best for each mage knight, without worrying about exposing covert tactics or decisions – which matter very little against the overall situation.

Since PvP is rather clunky in Mage Knight, I wanted a way to enjoy the game with others that was not entirely cooperative, but just enough competition to make things interesting. Boldness is definitely rewarded.

The reason for decreasing city level with increasing number of players has to do with availability of map rewards, and just keeping game length in the fun zone.

Mise à jour

Traduction du document créé par Kyur « easily forgotten rules details »
Il s’agit d’un document pour les débutants comportant quelques règles qui sont donc facilement oubliées lors des premières parties.
Je ne sais pas si cela sera utile à quelqu’un. Mais le fait de le faire m’a permis de revoir certaines règles que j’avais tendance à oublier.

Same guide, compressed to reduce size.

Added note about hand size increase for keeps.

There are plenty of aids showing you what can be done at certain sites, but having recently played with some new players, the question that comes up is not "what can I do there?" but rather "where can I do that?" It's pretty clear where you can go slay some stuff, but less clear what all your interaction options are. So I created this one-sheet that summarizes all the different sites you can spend influence and what it'd get you. Please let me know what I messed up!

Same thing, just compressed to reduce size.

A two-page summary of combat rules aimed at helping new players. Includes base game and Lost Legion.

Add the (currently two) missing scenarios to this document, which is primarily the work of Kin Hassar, and Chuck Williamson found here:

Have been teaching Mage Knight for over 2 years, I find it really helpful for new players to know the content of their starting deck.

So I made this basic action card list. I print and show it while teaching. The list also useful to learn 5 types of action cards (Move, Influence, Combat, Special, and Heal).

On the bottom, you can also see 2 special cards that each hero have in their deck. For example, if the new player is using Goldyx, simply tell them, "Your Concentration and Crytallize cards are more powerful than everyone else's."

Surprisingly, this list is also useful for me in solo play. I use it to keep track which cards already show up and which ones will come up later, without having to rely on memory. I hope this simple solution will be useful to you too, fellow Mage Knights!

I played the scenario a couple of more times and the more I play it, the more I feel the cities are not challenging enough. So I made three different difficulties for the city levels.
I also didn't like the fact that I got to choose the rewards for liberating monasteries and magical glades so I made them being decided by dice roll.
I also tried to do scenario with just what was written and no more information that was in my head and realized that some parts may be unclear and ambiguous so I tried to fix that too.
Hopefully it is better now.

A variant scenario for Mage Knight
The scenario is a little harder but I tried to give the heroes some advantages to balance it. I am not sure though, how well I balanced it, specially for 3 and 4 players where I didn't properly play test it.
I would really appreciate any suggestion for change and adjustments.

Update to the player aid - with colors and some minor adjustments.

These are the replacement action cards for Adius. They replace one of the Rages and Tranquility.

These are Adius's hero cards. One base game-style card, also usable as a dummy player, and two main expansion-style cards. Also a skill reference.

Adius is a custom, fan-made hero for Mage Lite. Adius is based largely on Pawel Bulacz's (BGG @pabula)"Monk" custom hero class created for Mage Knight. He did the heavy lifting creating the character concept and skills. I just added my own action cards and reformatted it to fit Mage Lite.

This document provides Adius's backstory, lists the expansion components, and gives attribution to Wiz Kids. There will be 2 other documents, split up due to BGG's file size limit.

Thanks again to Wiz Kids for generously allowing Mage Lite to be posted.

This alternate cover card for the Map tiles lists the movement costs for the various terrain types.Edit

Reformatted Joe Klipfel's 'Mage Light Rules 1.3' document into 3 reference sheets, to take up a smaller footprint. The text is largely unchanged, save for a few edits to make things fit.

I like folding these down the middle dividing line and gluing them to end up with 3 1/2 side reference sheets.

This document printed off & accompanied by the following linked 'mage knight rules reference' document provide a detailed concise rules reference.

Slightly improved version.
- The 'printer friendly' version now has bigger squares (similar to the color version)
- Added a slight offset to the reputation values so that they don't get hidden by the token.

This a small mat with a fame track, a reputation track and the a day/night space for the source, all packed into something that can be print on an A6 paper (10.5 * 14.85cm)

You can print it at the appropriate size by using the "4 pages per sheet" feature of your printer.

If you need to save ink, the pdf also contains a "printer friendly" version.

A low-ink version of v2.0.

Added The Lost Legion.

A low-ink version of the Multiplayer file.

A low-ink version of the Solo file.

Like the original file, but with multiplayer rules.

Highlights:
1. Designed with the game's background, images and font.
2. Includes some rules that aren’t explained on the original cards.
3. Sites are divided into 5 groups, each having an explanation about the general rules for the group.
4. Whenever rules are similar, they are presented in the same format. For example, all actions (combat and interaction) are presented as (Requirement) -> (Reward).

Hi all,

I'm a new player and I wanted something to keep track of my solo progress in Mage Knight. Not sure if this has been done before, didn't look for it.

I made this Excel Sheet so you can record your scores with all of the Mage's for all of the solo scenarios.
I have also included a tab for fan made scenarios that I found when searching through some of the uploaded Solo Scenario Books on BGG. I have included links to the Solo Scenario Books in the document for quick reference.

I also thought about adding another tab for fan made campaigns to keep track of which campaigns you've completed with each Mage. If you'd like these added let me know which ones are popular or that you like and that can be done. I did notice 3 campaigns in version 3 of the Solo Scenario Book.

If I have missed anything or if anything needs fixing let me know and I'll be happy to do so.

I hope new players find this helpful/useful.

Good luck!

The archive contains:
1) A syntax highlighter for the "Sublime Text" editor.
2) A Haskell cabal project that converts those "mkr" files into BGG forum syntax, with coloring.
It also contains an example, since there is no language definition or the like :-)

An in-depth analysis of block as a resource category.

This mat is for extra advanced actions offers when a sanctuary is in play.

I created this template for my love of Mage Knight. I wanted something where I could place the monster chips and keep track of who is blocked and who's not and keep the trophies in front of me. I laminated it and play with it every time. I hope you find it useful. Enjoy!
