About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for more magical chaos and destruction in Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards: Rumble at Castle Tentakill! This game brings new and hilarious ways to send your opponents to the grave, all with the polished art and sharp humor we've come to expect. If you're already a fan of the series, you can mix this game with the original for an even more epic (and chaotic!) experience.

The big new feature here are Creatures: cards that, with a bit of luck on the dice, become your loyal companions. They can give you that extra boost in combat or even throw themselves in front of an attack to save you. And speaking of saving your skin, we now have Blood! By defeating your rivals, you accumulate Blood to supercharge your spells and buy powerful items. But be careful, as the temptation to use it all at once can be fatal!

To ensure your revenge is served, even if you die before the spell resolves, Reactions come into play. Some spells remain active even after your demise, ensuring your final moments are pure mayhem. And that crazy castle standee? It's become a coveted relic! Controlling it not only increases the power of your spells but also earns you more Blood. Rumble at Castle Tentakill is a complete package, perfect for those who want to start playing or for veterans seeking new tricks and challenges with the Treasure and Dead Wizard cards. It guarantees fun and magical explosions all around!
