Unreliable Wizard

About this board game

Unreliable Wizard is a solo card game for 1 player that takes about 15 minutes to play. As an apprentice wizard charged by the King, you must cross a map, defeat enemy minions, and ultimately destroy the Demon Lord to save the Princess.

The game is played with just 32 cards. Move your wizard along the map while spending Life Points to cross its different terrain. Some locations are battle points, where you must face enemy minions before continuing your quest.

During each challenge, use cards from your hand to create magic by matching specific magic patterns. Your traveling companions can also contribute their skills, giving you additional help as you advance through the adventure.

• Advance your wizard along the map.
• Pay Life Points to cross terrain.
• Match card patterns to create magic.
• Use traveling companions and their skills.
• Defeat minions to gain more cards.

Victories over enemy minions reward you with additional cards, which may provide new magic or introduce traveling companions. Managing the cards available to you is essential as you work your way toward the final battle.

Reach the end of the map and defeat the Demon Lord to win. With its compact card-based format, clear solo objective, and combination of movement, Life Point costs, magic creation, and battles, Unreliable Wizard presents a focused quest from apprentice spellcaster to hero.
