Spellstorm

Spellstorm

2025·Keith Burgun

1 - 4 players
30 - 60 min

From BoardGameGeek

A tactical deckbuilder for 1-4 players, from the creator of Dragon Bridge. Set in the Gem Wizards Universe (Gem Wizards Tactics, Dragon Bridge). Spellstorm features the ninja bug-man Omar Evans, the Business Demon Intern Derby Pocket, radical activist skeleton Eve Williams, and a bunch of exciting new characters, each with their own powers and gameplay mechanics. In Spellstorm, 1-4 wizards do battle, casting a sequence of spells in order, slowly unfolding their tactics and overwhelming the opponent with powerful summons, using a never-before-seen kind of deckbuilding system paired with a simultaneous action system. Eight Wizards have met at the Spellstorm to obtain the Storm Shards, powerful magic artifacts that can only be gained once every 1,000 years. Who among you is skilled enough to weather the vicious storm? Choose from 8 wildly asymmetrical characters with their own unique magical powers. Will you win by having a strong economy, purchasing powerful Gems and even Dragons? Will you rush them down with red Fire cards? Or do you lean more into the long-term Ice magics, overwhelming the opponent's deck and causing them to slide helplessly into the depths of the Spellstorm. You'll constantly have to adapt your strategy after each battle. Players draft a new card between each battle, slightly shifting their strategy. During a battle, players simultaneously play Spell cards, blasting each other and dealing damage. Spellstorm is a game that's easy to learn but takes years to master all of its systems. -description from publisher
