Spell Stealers

Legend tells of a great and powerful magic spell protected within the depths of an enchanted temple. The legend states that the kingdom which possesses this spell will have unbounded prosperity and limitless power. However, the temple has been sealed since time began and, although many have tried, it is impossible to break through. The legend also foretells of a time to come, a time when the entrance to the temple will be opened and the spell will finally be accessible to anyone who is skilled enough to find it. For ages, the kingdoms of the land have been training elite thieves, dubbed Spell Stealers, in preparation for this event. Players assume the role of these thieves on the day the temple gates finally open, in a race to traverse the temple, steal the spell for their kingdom, and emerge victorious. Spell Stealers is a press-your-luck dice game - with stealing. Players assume the role of master thieves, sent by the various kingdoms of the land, in a race to steal a powerful magic spell protected within an enchanted temple. In order to advance into the temple you need to obtain artifacts, represented by the set of artifact dice. Artifacts award you with points and points allow you to move through the temple. Each of the 3 artifact dice are worth different maximum values and have their own probabilities of success. You must use some strategy, coupled with some luck, to obtain as many artifacts as possible. But don’t get too greedy because failing to obtain an artifact also means losing any points you have accumulated during your turn. And, every chance you take is another opportunity for your opponents to steal the points you’ve worked so hard to obtain. The first player to reach the magic spell in the middle of the game board triggers the game’s final round. The player deepest into the temple at the end of that round obtains the spell for their kingdom and wins the game.
