''Arcomage'' is a computerized card game produced by The 3DO Company. It originated as a minigame in ''Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor'' and ''Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer'', in which it was used to gamble for in-game money or to complete a quest to win games in every tavern. 3DO later released it as a stand-alone game in 2000. In the stand-alone version a single player can play against a computer opponent or two players can play via a LAN or TCP/IP connection. ''Arcomage'' uses the fantasy themes of the game in which it is set. ''Arcomage'' was developed by Stickman Games. The game was sold to 3DO. ==Gameplay== ''Arcomage'' takes the form of a tabletop game, in which there are two players, each with a deck of cards, a "tower" and a "wall", as well as several other variables that determine whether they win or lose, and what cards they can play. As ''Might and Magic'' is a single-player game, one would always play against an AI opponent - making the game relatively easy to win. Players take it in turns to: *Draw the appropriate number of cards to complete their 6-part deck (one or more cards would have been played or discarded during their previous turn) *Either play or discard a card, depending on their options - in some cases discard will be the only option available, as the player might not have the appropriate amount of "gems", "bricks" or "recruits". *If their chosen card allows it, play again and/or choose a card to discard. Every tavern has its different victory conditions, so players must adapt their styles for different situations. A game could end in one of the following ways: *A player's tower has been reduced to 0 *A player's tower has achieved a "height" of X (value depends on Tavern) *A player accumulates X amount of resources (value depends on Tavern) As well as having a "Tower", "Wall" and Deck of Cards, each player also has: *"Quarry" - controls how many "bricks" are gained each turn *"Bricks" - spent on brick cards *"Magic" - controls how many "gems" are gained each turn *"Gems" - spent on gem cards *"Dungeon" - controls how many "recruits" are gained each turn *"Recruits" - spent on recruit cards ''Arcomage'' employs a wide range of cards, each with their own name, effects and picture. Several cards were added to the original deck in ''Might and Magic VIII''. Examples include: *Faerie (recruit card): 2 damage (to enemy tower/wall); play Again. Cost: 1 recruit. *Portcullis (brick card): +5 wall; +1 dungeon. Cost: 9 bricks. *Sanctuary (gem card): + 10 tower; +5 wall; gain 5 recruits. Cost: 15 gems. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arcomage」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
