📖 About This Game
In this print-and-play roll-and-write game, you are a young spellcaster transported to a magical realm to prove your worth. Guided by a wisecracking wizard dog, you'll explore a mystical map by flipping poker cards to determine your movement, gain resources, and perform magical actions.
Each round, players flip three cards and choose one, using its suit for a bonus (like energy or potions), and its value for upgrading actions and determining movement. You'll travel across a magical training ground, collecting gems, potions, trees, and defeating enemies — all while managing limited movement points and building a strategy to maximize your score.
Strategic choices, clever upgrades, and magical encounters shape your journey to wizardly greatness. But be warned: each decision matters, and the path to becoming a Master Wizard is anything but easy.
