Trickerion (2025)

Overview

Trickerion: Legends of Illusion is an immersive, medium-heavy Euro-style board game set in the intriguing world of rival Victorian-era stage illusionists. Players step into the shoes of a magician, complete with a team of apprentices and specialists, each of whom can be assigned to various tasks using the game’s worker placement mechanics and simultaneous action selection system. The primary focus of the game revolves around performing incredible magical feats, which involves a careful balance of preparation and strategy. Throughout the game, you will be collecting magical components, expanding your repertoire of Tricks, and preparing grand performances in the Theater. These magical shows, staged at the end of each round, are the heart of your career as an illusionist. While performing these shows may earn you valuable money, the ultimate goal is to achieve Fame. As your Fame grows, you gain access to even more powerful and intricate Tricks, allowing you to outshine your rivals. The Magician who accumulates the most Fame points by the end of the game emerges victorious.
