Tash-Kalar is the ancient art of magical combat performed in arenas and combat pits throughout the known world.

Tash-Kalar is also the name of the oldest and most famous arena, the place where the game began.

And Tash-Kalar is an exciting board game that confronts players with the same intellectual challenges that dueling mages have faced for centuries.

ou can play the game with 2, 3, or 4 players, in teams or individually. Whether you are playing the High Form or a deathmatch, all games of Tash-Kalar have the same basic rules: Players take turns creating magical stones and placing them in patterns that allow them to summon fantastical beings. Your beings can move around the arena, disrupt opponents' patterns, and form new patterns that allow you to summon more beings.

Each form of Tash-Kalar has its own means of scoring and deciding on a victor.
