The King of Astoria has fallen to a sudden illness. Seeing in this an opportunity to seize power, his ancient enemies are besieging the city. Six foreign mages have been hired to fight and repel them. They have Power and Knowledge, but they also must act quickly, for the King is dying, and every night brings him closer to his death. Waves after waves of invaders assault the city walls, while the Mages try to find a cure. The fate of the Kingdom will depend on their success. Astoria comes in an engraved wooden box, containing four glass flasks and their cork stoppers, sixty large shining gems, 66 illustrated cards, some pawns, and playmats, along with two complete rulesets. The quality of the components is particularly high.
