Elfenwizards

Get ready for a political dispute worthy of fairy tales in Elfenwizards! In this game, you and your friends take on the roles of heads of wizard families, each aiming to ascend to supreme power. Released in 1995, Elfenwizards, created by Alan Moon, draws inspiration from games like Kremlin, bringing a dynamic of intrigue and political manipulation.

The heart of the game revolves around a batch of dice that each player rolls each turn. These dice aren't just about luck; they represent the political support you manage to gather for the elections that shape the destiny of the elven kingdom. With these support points, you'll try to influence outcomes and secure your position in the race for the top office.

Victory in Elfenwizards can come in two ways: either you manage to become the supreme leader twice, proving your political cunning doubly, or you accumulate the most political points by the end of four intense rounds. It's a game that blends the luck of the dice with the strategy of negotiation and alliances (or betrayals!) among players.

With an estimated playtime of 90 minutes and for 3 to 6 players, Elfenwizards offers a medium-weight experience (2.3/5 on BGG), ideal for those who enjoy a bit more strategy without delving into overly complex rules. It's a great choice for fans of fantasy-themed games, but with a touch of political realism and direct player interaction.
