About the game
What you do in a play session
This is a two-player strategy card game where the goal is to defeat your opponent. Each round, you choose a new spell from an open selection, adding it to your repertoire. Be sharp, as your rival might snatch the spell you desperately wanted! The key is to constantly update your spell set to optimize your strategies and counter your opponent's tactics. You can cast as many spells as you like per turn, provided you have enough mana and they are not on cooldown. More powerful spells have a greater impact but cost more mana and have longer cooldowns. Finding synergistic combinations and casting them at the right moment is essential to boost your damage or thwart your opponent. The first wizard to deplete their opponent's life points becomes the new Keeper of the Grimoire. Prepare for an intense and strategic magical battle!
