Apprentice wizards band together in a cooperative board game to tackle a magical emergency at the academy. With the head wizard and teachers gone, players experiment with unknown spells to summon, dismiss, move, adjust, switch, or empower game elements. Threats like imps, fires, floods, hauntings, and demons emerge, but they clash with each other-open a water dimension to douse flames if direct spells fail.
Spellbooks shuffle into millions of layouts for fresh powers each session, tied to colorful characters with unique casting effects. Fair mechanics reveal disasters ahead, letting groups prepare, while scenarios shift goals like surviving invasions, reversing bodyswaps, or controlling demons. This strategy simulation suits 1-6 players aged 12 and up who enjoy casual RPG sessions lasting 60+ minutes.

You have a lot going for you: The infinite power of magic allows you to summon, dismiss, move, adjust, switch or empower any aspect of the game. Only one thing stands in your way: None of you have the faintest clue what any of your spells actually do.
