Mage Knight is a collectible, expandable game featuring plastic, pre-painted fantasy figures. Every 3D figurine contains all of the information needed for game-play. Every game statistic, from attack strength to magical abilities to record keeping, is incorporated into the base of the character.

Seven factions in the Mage Knight world compete for dominance of the human kingdoms using technology, magic and elemental power. The Mage Knight Starter Set gives players ten fully assembled, painted miniatures of heroes, mages and monsters, each with an innovative base (patent applied for) that contains all the stats needed for play. The Starter Set is also packaged with a complete set of rules, a special abilities reference card, a comic book based on the Mage Knight universe, 2 six sided dice and an 18" flexible ruler. The Starter Set retails for $18. Booster Packs will contain five randomly inserted, fully assembled, painted miniatures and retail for $6.50. Mage Knight is available at hobby shops, comic book and game stores. http://www.wizkidsgames.com/mageknight
