Trickerion: Dahlgaard's Academy — The Path to Illusionist Greatness

New Horizons for Trickerion

In his final will, the beloved Dahlgaard left his old manor to the city of Magorium.
Now, one of its long-abandoned wings is being restored by the community of magicians.
Dahlgaard’s Academy opens its gates to the brave and the devoted.
Trickerion has long stood as a benchmark among Euro-style board games, merging deep strategic planning with the elegant world of Victorian stage magic.
Each match is a contest of minds, where illusionists prepare intricate performances for the grand show.
The Dahlgaard’s Academy expansion broadens this world with new opportunities and new spaces for mastery.
The Academy becomes a new center of progress — a place to train apprentices, refine tricks, and uncover special spells that strengthen a magician’s influence throughout the city.
This is more than strategy; it’s a full immersion into the captivating world of illusion, where players rise from humble performers to masters worthy of Dahlgaard’s legacy.





Behind the Curtain

The expansion introduces a brand-new location - the Academy, featuring four new types of actions.
You’ll take part in its renovation, adding classrooms and practice halls, teaching your apprentices, improving your tricks in different ways, or uncovering Dahlgaard’s hidden library to learn his incredible secrets.
A new specialist also joins the game - the Protégé, a talented assistant who can gain special abilities by learning Dahlgaard’s secrets.
This protégé can become your most valuable team member.
The expansion also includes a dedicated solo mode, where players face Dahlgaard’s heir - a powerful and dangerous magician corrupted by his own immense power.
The curtain rises, who is it that wants to test their craft at the Academy:
 - For strategic thinkers – If you love complex Euro-style games that reward long-term planning and careful optimization, this expansion offers a new layer of depth and choice;
 - For seasoned illusionists – Players familiar with the base Trickerion will discover advanced strategies, expanded scoring routes, and new ways to refine their magical engines;
 - For newcomers seeking a challenge – Success in Dahlgaard’s Academy doesn’t come by luck. Every achievement grows from understanding, consistency, and precise calculation.
Dahlgaard’s Academy is for those who prefer calm, thoughtful competition over resource races - for those who want to feel how true magic is born: from logic, patience, and perfect timing. Gather your apprentices, craft your greatest illusions, and leave your mark on the history of magic.
