About this board game
Wizards of the Grimoire: Shifting Sands is a two-player strategy card game with an approximately 40-minute play time, in which rival wizards battle to defeat one another and restore peace to Sablehaven.
This stand-alone expansion can be played by itself or combined with the Wizards of the Grimoire base game to create a colossal 140-card spell deck. It introduces 70 totally new and unique spells, expanding the magical possibilities available at the table.
Players draft spells and relics, cast their chosen magic, manage cooldowns, and aim to deal massive damage. Success depends on making effective use of the spells available while adapting your tableau throughout the game.
- Two-player strategy: Face one opponent in a focused magical duel.
- Spell drafting: Choose new spells to shape your available options.
- Cooldown management: Plan when your magic can be used again.
- Relics: Discover a new spell type captured within magical items.
Relics are released for a single effect, allowing you to quickly learn new spells and flexibly change your tableau. This gives Shifting Sands a distinct way to adjust your magical plans during play without losing sight of the ultimate goal: defeating your opponent.
Whether played as a complete experience or paired with the base game, Wizards of the Grimoire: Shifting Sands offers a concentrated contest of spell selection, timing, and powerful magical attacks.
