From BoardGameGeek

Every hundred years, the catacombs of the Council Palace tremble with unleashed magic, invoking powerful creatures and even changing the terrain itself. A challenge takes place between two powerful sorcerers to determine who presides over the Council for another century. Will you defeat your rival in this magical challenge? Will you become the next Great Wizard? SPELL is a dynamic game for two players who play powerful wizards in their quest to earn the respect of their peers through a logical challenge. You have to demonstrate your intelligence by completing more magical patterns than your opponent, using the creatures you summon, your powers to change the ground beneath your feet, and the advantages of the patterns you complete. -description from the publisher Cada 100 años las catacumbas del Palacio del Consejo tiemblan con la magia desatada, que invoca poderosas criaturas y cambia incluso el propio terreno. Un desafío entre dos poderosos hechiceros, para presidir el Consejo durante otro siglo. ¿Vencerás a tu rival en el desafío mágico? ¿Te convertirás en el siguiente Gran Mago? SPELL Es un dinámico juego para 2 jugadores, a partir de 12 años, que encarnan a 2 poderosos magos en su pugna por ganar el respeto de sus compañeros mediante un desafío de lógica. En SPELL tendrás que demostrar tu inteligencia completando más patrones mágicos que tu rival, utilizando las criaturas que invocas, tus poderes para cambiar el suelo bajo tus pies, así como las ventajas que te otorgan los patrones que completas. Un juego en que se aúnan la lógica, los combos y la visión espacial para crear un titulo que aprenderás a jugar en 5 minutos, pero te costará bastante dominar. -description from the publisher (Spanish)
