Description

[Edit] [History]

The Scepter of Zavandor is about magic and power. Players represent young magicians who have gained possession of old magic knowledge, and with it they attempt to achieve the powerful position of archmage, symbolized by the Scepter of Zavandor.

To increase their power and influence, the young magicians enchant jewels and seek out knowledge. An auction mechanism also allows them to acquire artifacts and guardians. Victory points are earned through active gems, artifacts, guardians, and knowledge.

The game's rulebook includes a note thanking James Hlavaty for permission to copy the game mechanics from Outpost.

1 Scepter of Zavandor English Rule Rewrite
Scepter of Zavandor English Rules v2.1.pdf
Adapted from previous revisions found here. We found the English rules that came with the game to be frustratingly and unnecessarily confusing. I tried to streamline and use some graphics to help make them more easily referred to during a game. I welcome any comments/feedback.

The Z-man cards are a bit thicker than the original German ones. This tuckbox puts everything in one box -- it's really not too difficult to separate the cards!
