Sorcerer

Sorcerer: A Strategy Card Game is set in a grim, gaslamp-lit world of mythical creatures and sorcery. Two ancient beings of great power face off to find out whose lineage is stronger, and you conjure minions, cast spells and wield enchanted items to conquer three battlefields. Each round starts with a dice roll that decides how much energy both players get, and since both get the same, the game stays fair while no two rounds look alike. You then spend that energy in the action phase to bring minions onto any of the three battlefields, to add possessions that improve their traits, or to cast sorcery. Best as a head-to-head, about ninety minutes, with a dash of push-your-luck.
