  • Hand Management — Players manage their hand of wizards and can swap one card out after each round.
  • Programming — Players program their six wizards in a specific order before the duels begin.
  • Push Your Luck — There's an element of chance in how the duels resolve, with different ways wizards can be knocked out.
  • Set Collection — The game utilizes elemental suits (lightning, water, fire, grass, light, void) which have strengths and weaknesses against each other.

  • 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.
