Spellfire (1994)

About this game

Microbadge: Spellfire is a CCG put out by TSR, using many of the monsters and personalities from the various Dungeons and Dragons settings (Forgotten Realms, Dark Sun, Ravenloft, Dragonlance, etc). The first player to play 6 realm cards and successfully protect them wins the game. To attack enemy realms and defend their own, players use heroes, monsters, spells, psionic powers, thief abilities, artefacts and magical items.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
