  Astral Tournament is a computer turn-based strategy game released by Apus Software in 2001. The goal of the game is to beat the opponent (who can be either computer-controlled or human) in a magic duel, making use of both creatures and spells in order to reduce the opponent's Life Points to zero. A 30-day trial version of the game can be downloaded at the game's official page, and its full version upgrade is worth (US) $14.95. As of 2007, a sequel to Astral Tournament, Spectromancer, was released
