Description
Cast & Capture is a magical twist on classic card games, where you play as a mage collecting wondrous creatures for the Arcane Academy. With simple rules that can be learned quickly, this game is perfect for 2 to 5 players of all ages, and can be played in just 15 to 30 minutes. Your goal is to use your knowledge of the elements and arcane powers to capture a variety of mystical and magical creatures before your fellow mages, earning you the title of Master Capturer. The game features two decks, a Creature deck and a Spell Deck, where each creature and spell has a Power and Element tied to it. Players use their spells to attempt to capture creatures on the field that match the Power and Element of the spell they cast. With the Spell Blending and Creature Grouping mechanics, you'll use light strategy and symbol recognition to create new spells and group creatures together in bizarre and whimsical combinations. The beautiful, hand-drawn illustrations and unique split-card design make Cast & Capture a delightful update on an old gaming favorite, perfect for a new generation of players. Whether you're young or old, you'll love the challenge and excitement of Cast & Capture, designed by Casey McCormick and Ben Stiers and first published in 2015.
