About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for more magic and strategy in the Zauberschwert & Drachenei universe with the second expansion, *Wissen & Artefakte*! If you've already ventured with *Helden & Zaubersprüche*, you'll enjoy the new features that arrive to boost your games. This expansion not only adds a lot of fresh content but also introduces mechanics that deepen the gameplay experience. We're talking about brand-new rules for libraries and knowledge levels, which will challenge your ability to manage resources and plan your moves. Furthermore, forges and artifact reinforcement bring an extra layer of customization and power to your items. Just imagine the thrill of forging a legendary artifact and watching its power grow! And, of course, new spells, artifacts, and creatures couldn't be missing to further enrich your arsenal and the challenges you'll face. The best part is that *Wissen & Artefakte* can be played on its own, adding an extra hour of gameplay, or combined with the base game and the first expansion for an epic experience that can last up to three hours! And for those who like to play with a group, combining it with *Helden & Zaubersprüche* allows up to six wizards to face off, transforming the table into a true arena of spells and strategies. If you enjoy a good card game with fantasy elements and hand management, this expansion is a treat to expand your adventures and discover new paths to victory.
