This weekend Tony (Caleb's Dad) got new game for his
birthday Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards: Duel at Mt. Skullzfyre. This
game has a mouthful for a title but it is an epic game with incredible art
work. The instructions for this one are quite lengthy and very involved
thankfully Tony, Caleb, and I have played once before but it will be new for
Angie (Caleb's Step-mom). In this game there is a draw pile in the center full
of spell cards and each play gets eight cards. Health points on your character
cards are used to keep of track of health throughout the round until you die.
Spells can consist of one to three cards and there are three main types of cards
Source (beginning), Quality (middle), and Delivery (end). In your spell you
must have no doubles such as you cannot have two source cards. For my character
I have chosen to be Princess Holiday and her Furicorn, Tony was Fey
Ticklebottom the Enchanter, Angie was Lady Lazervere of the Space Kingdom, and
Caleb was Jung Jung the Spirit Master. With this game there is no dice roll to
see who goes first each round instead you have numbers on the delivery card. The
highest number plays first which adds a strategy to going first or last.
Once everyone has their spells ready Angie is the first
wizard to cast her spell and she plays Beard’o Blasty’s Ritualistic Chicken.
Her source card copies the delivery of her spell, the quality card is dealing
damage to a foe of her choice (It was Tony), and her delivery targeted her
strongest foe. The damage decided on these cards is done so via a power roll
using dice. The number of dice you get is based on the glyphs in your spell for
each matching glyph you get an additional die. For Angie’s spell she only had
on dark glyph in her hand for the quality so she only rolled one die.

Everyone plays their spells and a new round of casting begins and for almost the whole first game I have no end cards so I only play two cards. The person with the least amount of cards in their spell plays first unless another player has an Impatience quality card. My spell was Dr. Rooty Bark’s Explodifying healing me three HP and giving the others an opportunity to roll for health points also. My Quality card damages a foe of my choice.
Few rounds later and Tony play’s Ben Voodoo’s Two-Faced
Death Wish with his source card dealing everyone damage and causing him to
destroy one of his treasures.


This game sounds interesting and like a lot of fun! it is very colorful as well.
