Who it's for

Great for two competitive players who enjoy a fantasy duel with real teeth, take-that mechanics and all.

Not for you if…

If you find take-that mechanics frustrating or prefer purely constructive strategy without direct sabotage, this one will grate.

Vibe's take

Sharp and combative. You're constantly torn between building up your own students and spending a card to knock your rival's plans off course.
