Scepter of Zavandor, The

The Scepter of Zavandor is about magic and power. Players represent young magicians who have gained possession of old magic knowledge, and with it they attempt to achieve the powerful position of archmage, symbolized by the Scepter of Zavandor.

To increase their power and influence, the young magicians enchant jewels and seek out knowledge. An auction mechanism also allows them to acquire artifacts and guardians. Victory points are earned through active gems, artifacts, guardians and knowledge.

The game's rulebook includes a note thanking James Hlavaty for permission to copy the game mechanics from Outpost.

Scepter of Zavandor is a retheming of Outpost by TimJim Games, with some additional mechanics (notably the technology track and player asymmetry on it.)
