  • hand management — Players manage their hand of wizards and can swap one card out after each round.

  • Push Your Luck — There's an element of chance in how the duels resolve, with different ways wizards can be knocked out.

Quotes (from this video)
  • It makes it so that the game itself is before the game, which is like a really unique thing.
  • Not quite a pass for me, but like a step above a pass for me. Pass plus.
  • This thing takes up zero space. super easy to travel with, but also from a table standpoint, it takes up no table space either.
