About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey folks! Ready for a magical showdown worthy of D&D? In Dungeons & Dragons: Rock Paper Wizard, here's the deal: the dragon is history, and now the wizards (that's you!) are duking it out over the leftover gold. Each of you has a spellbook packed with classic D&D spell cards, but here's the twist: each spell requires a specific hand gesture – like a secret spellcasting handshake! The coolest part is that everyone chooses their spell and target simultaneously. Will you blast an opponent away from the treasure, pull them closer, or will some other unexpected chaos ensue? It's a fast-paced game, full of guesswork, jaw-dropping reversals, and moments of pure satisfaction when your plan works. The first wizard to hoard 25 gold pieces wins it all! It's pure fun, guessing strategy, and guaranteed laughs. Perfect for warming up before a bigger game or for a quick, spark-filled session. Just be mindful, communication is limited, and chaos is the main ingredient!
