New Game Release – Wizards & Co.

Sinister Fish Games will release Wizards & Co., a new game where you raid dungeons, battle, and grab loot, into retail recently.

The high necromancer is dead. His dungeons lie unguarded, packed full of gems and artifacts ripe for plunder! There’s just one problem: the enchanted treasure vaults can only be breached by a wizard. A good job then, that you’re a wizard – a greedy wizard with time on your hands and no respect for the dead. Fight well and wisely, or just fight dirty. Either way, bring back as much loot as you can, because only one wizard can be victorious!

Players begin with a deck of the same ten creature cards. On your turn, you’ll place one or two of your creatures face up or face down onto available dungeon entrances. The more cards you play, the fewer cards you draw. Each dungeon has a random enchantment on it which changes the rules of the game for that dungeon. When all available dungeon entrances are filled, a battle is resolved, and creature effects are triggered in clockwise order. Some creatures may not survive and are removed from the dungeon.

When the dust settles, the player with the highest total creature strength in the dungeon chooses one of the two artifacts from that dungeon. The player with the second highest strength gets the other artifact. After a certain number of dungeons have been resolved (depending on player count), the player with the most points is the winner! 

Wizards & Co. is for two to four players, ages fourteen and up, and plays in thirty to sixty minutes. It retails for $36.99.

Sinister Fish Games also previously released Villagers (see “Villagers board game“).
