Description
Get ready to duel your friends in Spell Spud, a magical and mischievous card game where only the most cunning wizard will emerge victorious. This 2-6 player game is all about outsmarting your opponents and avoiding getting burned, literally. The game is simple to learn, but don't be fooled - it's surprisingly deep and full of twists and turns. With a playtime of just 15-30 minutes, you can jump into a game of Spell Spud whenever you want, and the easy-to-explain rules make it accessible to new players. In Spell Spud, each player chooses a unique pair of hands to represent themselves, and when it's your turn, you get to decide which hand to hold the hot potato with. But beware - if a hand gets burned, it's flipped to the 'Burned' side, and if it gets burned again, it's out of the game. With two hands, you've got a chance to come back from a rough start, but you'll need to use your actions wisely to defend yourself and outmaneuver your opponents. You can take two actions per turn, which can be used to draw from the Spell Deck, cast spells, or try to trap your foes. As you play, you'll need to think ahead and use your actions strategically to outwit your opponents and be the last wizard standing. The Spell Deck is full of useful spells to help you defend yourself or put your opponents in harm's way, but casting most spells will cost you an action, so you'll need to plan carefully. With its unique blend of action points, hand management, and hot potato-style gameplay, Spell Spud is a thrilling and unpredictable game that's perfect for playing with friends and family. Published in 2022, this game is a recent addition to the world of card games, and its designers, David Arce, Emmitt Silguero, and Colton Warren, have created a truly unique and engaging experience.
