Fire and Ice, Darkness and Forest Wisdom... Four ancient forces have always stood against each other, and powerful wizards in their representation have strived for dominance over the world. Only time will tell if some magical force and its creatures will succeed in winning, or if a balance of power will be established and with it will come a time of peace...

Welcome to the website of the deckbuilding card game "Škoda kouzla, které padne vedle". In the game, you enter a duel between two wizards and your objective is to defeat your opponent through spells, creatures and using better strategy. By buying cards at the magic shop, you gradually improve your deck of cards and prepare to become a master of magic. You can choose the path of dark curses, ravaging fire, binding frost, or forest wisdom. But to do all this, you need a large amount of magical power, which is not easy to obtain. Therefore, you have to use part of your cards as a source of magic and then decide whether to attack, build defense or buy new cards that can help you win over time.

The game was released in the Czech Republic in November 2023 and we are now looking for a publisher or distributor for other countries. Our team has recently embarked on the process of localizing the game into English (EN). If you are interested in collaborating with us, please feel free to reach out to us at jirka.hunyady@gmail.com.

Who is the game for?

The game will be enjoyed by both young players from about 8 years old, as well as more experienced game enthusiasts who enjoy tactics and strategy. Even though the game time is relatively short (approx. 30 min) and the system is not complicated, don't expect just a quick "filler". If you like fantasy themes and the principle of "deckbuilding", you shouldn't miss the game.

Game system

A new game principle in deckbuilding is that any card can become either a game effect or a game currency. It can never represent both at the same time. Your task is therefore every round to think about what cards you want to implement in the game and what you will pay for it. This principle is one of the main strategic parts of the game. Mana, which is the game's currency, is scarce overall and you have to think carefully about what you do with it. By buying cards at the magic shop, you upgrade your basic deck of cards and thus try to use suitable combinations of cards. You can then turn your wizard into a master of one of the types of magic.

In addition to the cards, there are also 3 types of tokens and crystals representing the freezing effect. So the game is not purely a card game, but other components increase the possibilities of what can be done in the game. For example, you can cast a curse on your opponent that gradually poisons him, or you can freeze him and prevent him from casting destructive spells.

There are a large number of unique cards in the game, the effect of which is not repeated. Each game is thus original in its own way, because there is always something to discover with a new layout of the store cards. Therefore, you also have to adapt your game strategy to what can be bought at the moment, or paid with mana for a exchange of magic shop offer. Players often enjoy discovering game options and like to play several games in a row.

What will be next?

We are already testing a possible expansion for the solo mode and cooperation mode, where you will fight against the Dark Lord in his underground dungeon. The expansion will contain a pack of about 50 cards, which you can use both for the solo/coop and for the standard two-player game. However, the release of the expansion will be possible only after a thorough testing and when the majority of the game production is already among the players. We will definitely inform you in advance about the release date. You can see samples from the upcoming Solo version of the game here..
