I dunno if anyone has heard of or played this game...its garfields newest brainchild....it plays alot like magic...

heres the basics...your "deck" consists of 20 cards...the cards are in 5 columns and 4 rows...the rows are more like teirs...your deck is chosen randomly from your collection...the columns are broken up into the 5 elements (fire,water,wind,earth,_______)...blank is whatever spectromancer you choose to be...(holy, death, illusion, mechanical.....)

so every game you have a teir 1 spell in each of the columns, teir 2, teir 3...so on...the teirs are based on how expensive the spells are...so you will always have a low casting and high casting card in each element

spells are cast using resources...usually you will gain 1 resource per column per turn....

you have 6 spaces on the board where you can play guys

turn phase is
start of turn
gain resources
play 1 spell
attack step
end of turn

attack step goes from left to right on the field....combat damage is only dealt by attacker and damage carries over...

its a neat toy....strongly recommended if you have a few hours to waste

Can you elaborate? Does this mean I would bring all XXX number of cards I own to play and somehow choose 20 of them randomly? How would you ensure an even distribution of cards across all of the columns/elements if I'm choosing cards for my deck at random?

That would have been helpful to know :lol:

I pictured guys wheeling in 5,000 ct boxes and spending like 2 hours randomly choosing their deck.
