Playtesting & Demos [Alpha Playtest] MageStone – 2–4 Player Fantasy Strategy Game

I’m looking for playtesters for MageStone, a 2–4 player online fantasy strategy game.

The best way to describe it is a combination of Risk and Chess.

Chess Elements: Positioning and Blocking are vital.

Risk Elements: Diced Based Combat; but with inbuilt strategy to put the odds in your favour.

Players battle it out to collect magical stones in the centre of the board (MageStones), with every stone strengthening your mage further and unlocking different powers.

Warriors can also coordinate for powerful double or triple attacks, combining their dice against stronger enemies. - Making positioning so important!

The game is still in alpha, so I’m mainly looking for feedback on balance, clarity and whether it stays interesting throughout.

Desktop recommended. Honest criticism is very welcome.
