About the game
During the KS campaign for Nova Aetas Renaissance, we decided to indulge our love of crossovers, and some of the unlocked Stretch Goals were designed to be played not only in NAR but also in our other flagship game, Black Rose Wars and its sequel, Rebirth! BRW and NAR are set in more or less the same historical period (one of several that make up our world's lore), and some of the main characters are present in both games, such as our beloved Rebecca, a young Apprentice mage in NAR and a powerful Necromancer with a dark destiny in BRW. So it was a lot of fun for us to create these crossovers, which we then put into a special package called the Magister Box, which you can find right inside the NAR Core Box. —description from the publisher When used in Black Rose Wars: Rebirth / Black Rose Wars, this box adds: - 3 mages (Agorix, Boogeyman and Onamor). - 1 Personal Familiar (Eracleto) that Agorix can summon with his Personal Spell. - 3 Personal Evocations (3 Doll) that Boogeyman can summon with his Personal Spell. - 2 Forgotten Evocations (Jack [the Scarecrow] and Chimera), which can be summoned with the two Forgotten Spells included in this box. When used in Nova Aetas Renaissance, this box adds: - 1 Druid Hero (Agorix) + his personal familiar (Eracleto). - 6 Enemy miniatures with their respective cards: 3 Doll, 1 Technomancer, 1 Scarecrow and 1 Dark Magician. - 1 special Enemy that will be the protagonist of a Hunt Mission during the NAR campaign, the Chimera.

Questions and answers
Black Rose Wars: Magister Box supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists Black Rose Wars: Magister Box for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Black Rose Wars: Magister Box belongs to these categories: Fantasy, Bluffing, and Miniatures. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Area Movement. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Black Rose Wars: Magister Box are: Luca Bernardini and Andrea Colletti. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Black Rose Wars: Magister Box as an expansion for Black Rose Wars. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Black Rose Wars to use it. Check that your edition of Black Rose Wars is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
