The catalogue lists Varia: Cosmic Mage for ages 13 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.
The credited designers of Varia: Cosmic Mage are: Anthony Tessitore. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.
