For the third year, AEG will be releasing our Black Box, just in time for Black Friday and the holidays. Each year, the contents are a mystery but this year AEG will tease the contents, leading up to the release.
To start, this year’s box is for advanced gamers only. In previous years, we had a value box and a casual box. Each year, we aim to vary the contents of the black box. We listened to feedback from 2015 and we’ve made a product that will challenge gamers looking for a serious game!
Everyone is welcome to test their mettle on the 2016 Black Box but we recommend this product for gamers who appreciate a complex card game experience.
This year’s box is recommended for advanced gamers only.
Do you have what it takes?

There is only 1 game in the 2016 AEG Black Box this year.
Phase is a game for Advanced Players!
It’s a throwback to an earlier time in the evolution of collectible card games where players were constantly finding ways to make the cards do things the designers did not anticipate – creating infinite loops, generating unlimited damage, drawing every card in a deck, etc.
In Phase you play with a deck of two-sided cards. Cards “Phase” from side to side as you play meaning that at any time a cascade of Phasing can totally transform the board. A strong offense can convert to a strong defense, or vice versa with sudden speed.
Phase has been delivered in a ready-to-play box containing more than 300 cards, suitable for 2-5 players. Individual players might want to buy their own copies of Phase so they can assemble even more complex and strategic decks.
Phase was the only product included in this years AEG Black Box 2016.
