About this game
Two summoners clash on a grid battlefield, playing unit cards from hand and maneuvering them for tactical advantage. Summoner Wars distills miniature wargaming into a fast card game where your dead units become the magic points to summon new ones. Each faction has a completely different playstyle, from the swarming Cave Goblins to the precise Phoenix Elves. Quick enough for a lunch break, deep enough for tournament play.
