Who it's for

Gamer groups who love crude humor, direct player conflict, and fast, aggressive card duels with no filter.

Not for you if…

Gross-out humor or heavy player-versus-player attacks are not your thing, because both are the entire point here.

About this game

Epic Spell Wars turns spellcasting into a gleeful arms race of absurd, gross-out combos. Every turn you snap together a spell from source, quality and execution cards, more components means a nastier effect, but also a slower cast, so speed and power are constantly at war. Spells resolve face up in initiative order, and the last wizard standing at the table earns a token, with two tokens crowning the champion. It is fast, crude, laugh-out-loud mean, and utterly unconcerned with balance or subtlety. If you have ever wanted to hurl a flaming exploding hamster at a friend and call it strategy, this is the game.
