About the game
What you do in a play session
Magos de Araque throws you and your friends into a spell‑battling showdown without wands, but with a Magic Hat that can pull anything you can imagine. Each turn you hand the hat over, draw a card, and try to use its effect to attack, defend, or change the course of play. The game features 130 cards across six types – attacks, defenses, specials, mishaps, ghosts, and events – ensuring every game feels fresh. A variety of modes keeps the replay value high: Classic gives you more control, Chaos Total lets luck run wild, Potion & Poison adds drinks into the mix, and Duel Magic pits pairs against each other. Even when a player is eliminated, they don’t sit out; they become a ghost who can still meddle with the others, keeping the tension alive. The “Take That” mechanic lets each card be used against opponents, creating surprise and strategy moments. With a quick 20‑minute playtime and support for 2‑10 players, it’s perfect for parties or game nights. The artwork is playful and draws on fantasy and pop‑culture themes, appealing to both RPG fans and those looking for a light, chaotic game. If you enjoy card games that blend humor, luck, and competition, Magos de Araque is a choice that will bring the table to life.
