Magma: Game of the Month for July 2009 · 28 July 09

Magma boils up from the earth, sluicing forth to immolate and cover everything in its path. Fast at first, but growing slower and slower in its inexorable advance until it hardens to rock. This game moves much like its namesake.

Magma is a game for two to six players. Your goal is to claim as much territory as possible while using as few pieces as possible. If you’re playing with more than three players, you’re playing on a two-player team. (How do you get two-player teams with five players? Read the rules to find out!)

Magma uses a custom board and a bunch of tokens in three different colors.

The rules and board are available at: http://www.invisible-city.com/play/527/. If you don’t want to assemble your own set, or if you want a nicer-looking board, you can order a copy from The Game Crafter for a very reasonable price. We have removed Magma from The Game Crafter’s site for the time being. Stay tuned for future developments.

Magma has fairly simple rules. Thanks to CPSIA, the game is appropriate for ages 12 and up (although parental supervision could probably reduce this restriction significantly). A 6-player game takes about 45 minutes to play.
