Spirit Master

2023·Andrew Nicholson

2 - 8 players
15 - 30 min

From BoardGameGeek

Be the last player remaining in this fast-paced fantasy card game that thrives on re-playability, creativity and expanding gameplay. Enjoy this "strategy meets chance" game with large and small groups of people. The main deck is inspired by standard playing cards allowing you to enjoy traditional card games in style! How to play: Depending on player count, a specific number of cards are dealt out from the main deck to each player. These cards remain face down and are not looked at. The player to the left of the dealer chooses an opponent to battle. They then choose a "spirit" among their force to flip over. This attacking player then chooses a spirit among their opponent's force to be flipped over. The player with the higher number wins. Both flipped spirits are discarded and the winner of the battle replaces their spirit with another from the main deck. The loser does not replenish and now has 1 less spirit in their force. This continues until there is only one player left. Additional play: Gifts are items(Supplies)and additional spirits(Supports)that are gained in battle. They have varying abilities that can help change the outcome of the game. A Versatile Card Game: This is the main way to play, but it is not the only way. Be creative and start up your own version of Spirit Master. Change some rules or add new mechanics altogether. Inside are a few game variations to get players started. The game is also modular and can have additional decks added or removed to extend or change your game. Players could even bring their own full Spirit Master collection and battle it out in a massive clash of spirits. As mentioned before the main spirit deck is inspired by standard playing cards, so go ahead and play some spirit poker. Future expansions will be themed decks and will be interchangeable, adding even further versatility.
