Description

In Wizards & Co., players are greedy wizards seeking to loot artefacts and sets of gems from the treasure vaults left by a deceased necromancer. Each player will deploy an identical deck of 10 creature cards, each with unique abilities. Everyone can pull the same tricks, the important part is where and when!

Players place cards face-up and face-down around their choice of 2-3 octagonal dungeon boards, each of which has a rule-changing enchantment tile. Battles are fought when no more cards can be placed, with the majority of creature abilities triggering in clockwise order. Positioning and timing are therefore both key!

When the dust settles, the player with the strongest presence in the dungeon gets first choice of the artefacts on offer. All players will then collect gems based on the final position of their creatures in the dungeon. The game is played out over a number of dungeons according to player count.

Artefacts include equipment to buff creatures, treasure for end-game scoring, and even the ability to summon new monsters from the dungeon depths! But with rival wizards vying for the same prizes, players must carefully outmanoeuvre their opponents to claim the loot for themselves

The game is won by amassing the highest score based on artefacts and gems collected. Coloured gems give points for non-matching sets, while black cursed gems are worth negative points but are sometimes found in advantageous positions.

Wizards & Co combines Eurogame sensibilities with thematic richness in a game that rewards thoughtful play and ruthless ambition. Battles will be fought and fortunes will be made as players compete for control of the dungeons to claim the best loot!
