Kampf der Magier (2008)

About this game

In this simple card game most cards represent wizards, and a number shows their degrees of magical powers. Players in their turn play a card with a larger number than the previous card. They also can play more cards if they have the same value, in that case the sum of the values counts. If a player cannot, or does not want to continue, takes all the cards played and a new "battle" begins. The winner is the player with the fewest cards at the end. Re-implements: Escalation!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
