Epic Spell Wars of The Battle Wizards: Duel at Mt. Skullzfyre

HOLY WOW. This game opened me up to tabletop gaming. I've never had so much fun playing a non-video game.Back when I was a kid, I was so turned off to tabletop games because of Monopoly and mischievous siblings n cousins who always managed to "win"... resulting in many losses for me.This game was easy for me to pick up and play. It took a couple rounds for me to figure out that I really needed some sort of strategy and I just started to have a night full of laughter with good friends.The artwork of the cards are fun and innovative. As you build a spell from the cards, the comedy and art blends in pretty well for some amusing visuals.My buddy had them all in card protectors. I've been playing mine without them (even around adult beverages) and they are holding up pretty well.This is definitely a fun game! I have even introduced other new gamers with this game, and it's always a fun time!

This game is a great game to take to your next game party or game night. Pretty easy to pick up, very entertaining, and with a decent depth of strategy to keep you excited for the next round, next spell, and next effect. You will be both laughing at, with, and cursing at your friends in a good natured battle to the death in this game. My advice is to fully embrace your inner Harry Potter and really belt out the spell names like you are trying to counter curse the dark lord himself

Great game for families or friend groups. I’ve played it with groups of adults and with my kids (youngest is 11) and it’s always a good time. Easy to learn but with a good amount of strategy.

This is a really fun game! My group is not usually into rpg type games where you do damage and have to think about your moves in advance. We always play stupid, funny party games like CAH, utter nonsense, funemployed, and disturbed friends. The quality of our experience is usually dictated by how hard we laugh. And this game was a perfect mix!ESWOTBW:DAMS has the illustrations that kept us intrigued from the start. Every card is funny. And the spell combinations are also goofy to read in your best wizard voice. Even though we dropped the wizard voices about halfway through it was fun to try different voices and read the spells. And for a group that doesn't play games that take even a hint of preparation for your move esw was perfectly simple enough to sit down and understand in a round. A great game for adults of any game level! Whether you are hardcore and want a light fun turn based card game or are a party gamer and want something a bit more involved it has it all. Next up is to buy the sequel and expand my deck!

I have started my own little board game collection and started having both family, and friend game nights on a weekly basis. Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards was the newest addition to my collection. While the game can be a little complicated to learn, it's fantastic to play. The art is goofy and makes the game humors as do the spells themselves. Every game night I also have at least one person ask to play this because its so fun. The game is well thought out and can be played with up to 8 people which is great for party environments. Some of the art on the cards can be a little to violent for kids so I wouldn't recommend this be played with kids unless you take those cards out. The game can also take long depending on your number of players, to win a player must be the last wizard standing twice, but this can be rectified by implementing your own sudden death rules when everyone is getting tired of playing.

A friend of mine told me about this game. It sounded like a game our gaming group would really enjoy. While my friend was still telling me about the game, I got on my phone and bought it without even knowing what the game looked like. When I first received the game and opened the box I thought to myself the art work look hideous (to my taste). The game sat on our shelf for a long time. I did not thing I could bring it to the table hatting the looks of the box and cards. One day I decided to play it with my son and we loved it. Then we introduced the rest of the family to it and they loved the game. However, we all agreed (the reason for the -1 deduction)...the cards still look very hideous, lol

This game... THIS GAME IS AMAZING! The art is a bit grotesque at times but if you can look past, ignore or appreciate that then you'll have an incredibly silly game that pits powerful wizards against one another in a NEVERENDING battle to the death. I mean that in an overall sense. The first two pages of the instruction book set the stage for an EPIC but TERRIBLE land ruled by UNCLE ANDY! Let's just say, the fact that they constantly come back from the dead after each match isn't always such a great thing. ;DThis artist is fantastic and purchasing this game caused me to look up more of his work. He does such an amazing job of creating bizarre creatures that tell interesting stories just based on how they look. Everything is different. Everything is unique. But it all fits into the universe presented.If you're looking for a card game that lets you BE the WIZARD of your DREAMS (such as Fey Ticklebottom the Enchanter or Princess Holiday and her Furicorn) to cast incredibly devastating spells (such as Beard'o Blasty's Prickly Fountain of Youth) then you've found the right game.

I was introduced to this game by a friend and I’m really glad to have discovered it. The game is simple to understand but there is a lot of strategy involved. The art is great but has some adult/dark humor so the game might not be exactly kid friendly in most cases. I would stick with the recommended age range of 15+. Other than that I am very pleased with this game and I look forward to buying more of the expansions in the future.
