Overview
In Argent: The Consortium, players compete to become the new chancellor of a magical university. Each player, a powerful mage with unique abilities, must strategically deploy their student mages to key locations on campus to gain influence with the Consortium, the board responsible for selecting the new chancellor. Through careful worker placement, players acquire resources, cast spells, and manipulate events to sway the Consortium's votes.
However, the path to power is paved with intrigue and deception. Players must balance their public actions with secret objectives, creating a constant tension between building a powerful engine and undermining their opponents. The shifting political landscape, combined with variable player powers and hidden victory conditions, ensures that every game is a unique and challenging struggle for control of Argent University.
