About the game
Hey there, adventurers! Ready for a magical, and perhaps slightly awkward, quest? In Spellbound, you play as a novice mage who, let's just say, got a bit overconfident and fell victim to a curse from the fearsome Baba Yaga. The result? Certain parts of your body are now... creatively sized. Your mission is clear: find the scattered spellbooks across the land to reverse this bizarre situation and, hopefully, return to your normal size (and stop spending a fortune on shoes!).

But don't expect it to be a walk in the park! Baba Yaga isn't messing around and will send her most sinister minions, like skeletons and spider-riding goblins, to stop you. The good news is that the fantastical creatures of this world might come to your aid – centaurs, dragons, and even a grumpy librarian could lend a hand. It's a cooperative game where you mages must work together, building your decks and casting spells to defeat the witch and her allies before she becomes even more powerful.

Featuring deck-building mechanics and a touch of luck with the bag-building element, Spellbound offers a fantastic adventure experience that can be played in about an hour. It's perfect for those who enjoy a cooperative challenge with a lighthearted and fun theme, where humor (and giant feet) are part of the journey. Prepare your spells, join forces, and save the kingdom (and your bodies)!
