Black Rose Wars: Rebirth is a competitive fantasy game of deck-building, strategy, and combat set in the hectic universe of Nova Aetas in Italy, for 1-4 players.
Each player is one of the powerful mages of the Black Rose Order, who aspires to become the new Great Magister, in order to acquire the mighty power of the Black Rose Artifact and the Forgotten Magic.
Each mage has at their disposal six schools of magic, each one with its own strategy to annihilate their opponents and increase their power. Mages fight each other in a modular arena of hexagonal Room tiles. They summon powerful creatures, cast destructive spells, or devise dark deceptions with their enchantments.

More Stretch Goals!

Hello, Magisters!
Do you really think that Rebirth campaign could have been based only on Daily Stretch Goals?
We do like the idea of Daily SGs to keep the campaign always live with Irene at your orders to explore the Lodge. We could not renounce having fun altogether with our beloved economical SGs!
Let's take a look at these new SGs!
Odin is a new Avatar!. As all the Gods in the Nova Aetas Chronicles universe, Odin is a mortal creature but with truly exceptional powers. These creatures arrived on our planet millennia ago and divided up the planet, giving birth to different cultures that began to worship them as Gods.
Odin arrived in the Lodge attracted by the awakening of the Black Rose, intent on seizing its power and choosing a champion among the Mages worthy of fighting alongside him in his war.
Odin's stunning miniature shows him astride his trusty Sleipnir as he wields Gungnir, his mighty spear imbued with the power of lightning!
A God is coming in the Lodge!
Like all Avatars, Odin will have the Avatar card and his 30 Command Cards, 10 for each moon phase. In fact, each Avatar changes or improves its strategies in each phase of the Moon, always raising the level of challenge ... remember that each Avatar is in the Lodge to reach their goals and win the game!
Are you ready to face a God? We hope so ... it might come in handy in the future too (spoilers!).
Cassandra is the oracle of the Apollodori, a tribe of Fauns from the Hellenic peninsula who abandoned the cult of Gaea centuries ago, to embrace the belief in Apollo, the Greek God of the sun.
As Magister of the Oracle school, Cassandra predicted the events of the fall of the Black Rose but none of the other Magesbelieved her, fearing that her dire predictions were just a sinister way to seize power and become the new Great Magister.
Believe in Cassandra!
Now she is back in the Lodge to take her revenge and to avert the terrible future events that she saw in her predictions: only an Oracle can bring order to the Lodge!
Cassandra, like all Mages, comes with her Mage Sheet and 3 copies of her Custom Spell!
The Sphinx is a powerful and wise creature that can be summoned thanks to its unique Forgotten Spell.
Like all Forgotten Evocations, it will be very powerful if used carefully. The Mages who summons her will be able to send the Sphinx to hunt the other Mages: she will test the unfortunate Magister, and failing the test will not be pleasant!
I have a riddle for you...
The Sphinx will be represented by a large model and will dominate the Lodge with its look inspired by ancient Egypt!
As the first batch of Stretch Goals, we have really started off great! But we are only at the beginning and many more are waiting to be unlocked!
Soon we will also reveal the first daily Stretch Goals soon as we find out which direction Irene has taken in the Lodge!
Also today at 9:00 pm (GMT), on the Ludus Magnus Studio Facebook Page, author BRW, and Rebirth, Marco Montanaro will be live for an A&Q session with all of you. You can bombard him with questions especially about the Avatars, and who knows, maybe convince him to make you some spoilers!
Don't miss this appointment!
Fireball!
The Rebirth has begun!

Funding achieved! Huge thanks to everyone!!
Important projects like this one would never see the light without your help and enthusiasm. For this reason, we will never stop thanking all of you for the trust and support you have always shown us.
Now that the first milestone has been passed, let's start to have fun!
As you may have noticed, the Early Bird Pledge will be available for the first 48 hours of the campaign, it includes an old acquaintance of the universe created by LMS: Jukas, the mighty Mage (or Psionic if you prefer)!
This time we #savejukas from the start!
First introduced in Sine Tempore, Jukas has become one of the most iconic characters in our universe and, thanks to his ability to travel through time, has appeared in many of our games!
In this new incarnation, Jukas will be the first in a long list of Avatars. He is constantly looking for a way to free himself from the Blood of Gaea, which has infested his left arm in a symbiotic relationship that on the one hand has given him new powers, but on the other is slowly driving him to madness. The Black Rose may have a cure, but She will give it to Jukas only in exchange for his services.
If you're wondering what an Avatar is, don't worry: we'll be giving you more information over the course of the campaign. For the moment we can tell you that it is one of the biggest innovations of Rebirth and that it will allow you to have new opponents automatically controlled by the game, to add variety to multiplayer games, and a whole new way to play solo with BRW and Rebirth!
Furthermore, as is our custom, we have numerous surprises in store for you, with a new Stretch Goal system to have more fun together during the campaign:
You will be called to wear the shoes of Irene, a young mage who returns to the now destroyed Lodge, after living there when she was a child.
Introducing Irene!
Based on her location on the map, we will describe the surrounding areas. You will choose which path to take to discover new Stretch Goals to unlock, every day you will face a different choice.
"You cautiously enter the Lodge, the dense vegetation that surrounds the building seems to have also taken possession of its interiors. It almost looks like Gaea lived here. Passing under the huge door now torn from its hinges, you try to accustom your eyes to the surrounding semi-darkness.
Rare blades of light filter through a cracked ceiling, illuminating random corners of the hallway in front of you.
Looking sadly at what remains of what was once a magnificent building, you go back in time with your mind, to when as a child you ran down that corridor, scolded by old Giulio.
A strange light distracts you from your thoughts.
From behind an opening that overlooks the east side of the corridor, a strange, almost brilliant dust seems to come out. A Stardust. You remember a young girl a little older than you used magic that produced similar effects, a little girl you were friends with.
As you are about to take the first step in that direction, from the room on the opposite side incisive and rough music begins its melody, accompanied by the sound of blades that collide with each other, as if to set the rhythm. "
Which direction do you want to take?
Will you follow the Stardust towards a distant memory (East) or the melody marked by the dancing swords (West)?
Choose wisely!
Post a comment to this update to choose the direction (East or West) by 04.00 pm (GMT) tomorrow and we will find out together what your fate will be!
Thank you again for this stunning firestarter and as usual...
