Wizard’s Gambit - New Game from a New Publisher
Gryphon Forge is a new publisher out of Bellevue, Washington, and its first title is Wizard’s Gambit, a non-collectible card game for 2-5 players. Here’s a short description of the game:
| In Wizard’s Gambit players become wizards who take turns placing Magical Components on Spells in a common Spell Pool in the center of the play area. When all of the required Magical Components have been placed on a given Spell the wizard that completed that Spell claims it as their own, creating a Spell Book face up in front of them.
Once added to their Spell Book, a wizard may immediately apply the effects of the Spell if applicable, giving him more power to vanquish their competitors. Each Spell has a point value, which adds up cumulatively to represent their Spell Book’s score. Wizards can further affect the course of play by casting Incantation cards during their turn, which can provide powerful advantages in playing the game. Additionally, wizards can invoke the highest power – the Wizard’s Gambit – to thwart other wizard competitors and ensure their chance at claiming powerful Spells for their own. The first wizard to reach a Spell point total of ten points wins the game and is proclaimed Grand Siege Magus. |
For more details, you can visit the Gryphon Forge website. This game has been added to Gone Cardboard.
