#JasonReviews #boardgamemechanics #news 0:00 - Intro 0:06 - Title Screen 0:25 - Description of the Game 1:40 - Components 3:11 - Final Thoughts 4:45 - Credits Wizard Buddies is a 3-5 player card game centered around spell casting, using magical items, and gathering wizards along the way. You must keep your wits about you and your lexicon handy if you are going to overcome your opponents to become the wisest wizard of them all... or at least the one with the most Wizard Buddies! In Wizard Buddies, each player plays as one of five Schools of Magic: Abjuration, Divination, Evocation, Necromancy, or Transmutation. On a turn, a player has three Action Points to spend. They can draw cards or play Spell Cards, Item Cards, or Wizard Cards, each at varying costs of Action Points. For example, Spell Cards and Item Cards cost one Action Point, but playing a Spell Card that aligns with your School of Magic won't cost you any. Similarly, playing a Wizard Card costs two Action Points. This is a hefty price to pay, but having the right combination of Wizard Cards in your play area is the key to winning. The game ends when a player has all five Schools of Magic accounted for in their play area OR three Wizard Cards from the same School of Magic in their play area that matches their own School. Magic can quickly spiral out of control, so be strategic in your card management and effective in your spell-casting! - Description from the Publisher - To watch the play through for this game click the link below: https://youtu.be/SKWDkNa16TM To support this game on Kickstarter click the link below: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thewisestwizard/wizard-buddies?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=wizard%20buddies For more information on Pretend Monkey Games check out the following links: https://www.facebook.com/pretendmonkeygames https://www.instagram.com/pretendmonkeygames/ For more information about Wizard Buddies: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/394679/wizard-buddies To check out a little bit of everything that we do visit our website at: https://www.bgmechanics.com Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theboardgamechanics Follow us on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boardgamemechanics Tweet at us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bgmechs If you would be interested in having us review/preview a game, or just want to chat, shoot us an email at: contact@bgmechanics.com ***Preview copy provided by Pretend Monkey Games***

About Wizard Buddies, from BoardGameGeek:

Wizard Buddies is a 3-5 player card game centered around spell casting, using magical items, and gathering wizards along the way. You must keep your wits about you and your lexicon handy if you are going to overcome your opponents to become the wisest wizard of them all... or at least the one with the most Wizard Buddies! In Wizard Buddies, each player plays as one of five Schools of Magic: Abjuration, Divination, Evocation, Necromancy, or Transmutation. On a turn, a player has three Action Points to spend. They can draw cards or play Spell Cards, Item Cards, or Wizard Cards, each at varying costs of Action Points. For example, Spell Cards and Item Cards cost one Action Point, but playing a Spell Card that aligns with your School of Magic won't cost you any. Similarly, playing a Wizard Card costs two Action Points. This is a hefty price to pay, but having the right combination of Wizard Cards in your play area is the key to winning. The game ends when a player has all five Schools of Magic accounted for in their play area OR three Wizard Cards from the same School of Magic in their play area that matches their own School. Magic can quickly spiral out of control, so be strategic in your card management and effective in your spell-casting! -description from the designer
