About the game

What is Wizards of the Wild?

In Wizards of the Wild, each player is an animal wizard battling in the ultimate magic showdown at Stonehenge. Each species has a special power: Fox, Hare, Owl, Raccoon, and 4 more! The Acolytes of the Lost Masters — Cats and Dogs — run the games by setting up many challenges and spells. If you win, you will be crowned the new King of the Forest! Wizards of the Wild is a fast paced engine-building card and dice game for 2-4 players that plays in about 30 minutes. Players roll custom dice to acquire spells, defeat challenges, and bribe acolytes. As the game progresses, your spells and special abilities combine in a unique way to increase your power. Dark magic gives you the ability to enfeeble other wizards, but you have to avoid too much of it lest it turn on you!
