About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a tactical and cooperative adventure in The Last Spell: The Board Game, the tabletop adaptation of Ishtar Games' acclaimed video game! Here, you and your friends take on the role of seasoned warriors with a clear and desperate mission: protect the last mages as they attempt to cast 'the last spell.' The goal? Banish all magic from the world and, who knows, perhaps save humanity from a grim fate. Yes, 'who knows,' because things are truly dire! The setting is a dark fantasy, post-apocalyptic world where every resource is precious and survival is a constant struggle. Gameplay unfolds in day and night cycles, lasting three intense rounds. During the day, players scramble to bolster the game's economy, erect defenses against nocturnal hordes, and, of course, upgrade their heroes' equipment to unleash even more devastating powers. Want a quick game? Play single scenarios. Prefer an epic saga? Embark on a campaign that will challenge you with increasing difficulty levels, putting your strategic skills to the test. With a vast arsenal of weapons and abilities to experiment with in each playthrough, there's always something new to discover. And for the brave souls seeking the ultimate test, prepare to witness your city in fiery destruction in the face of overwhelming odds. Do you have what it takes to cast the last spell?
