Spellcraft (2024)

Spellcraft is a competitive team-based game, where teams of mages split into two sides, each fighting for their throne while also crafting powerful spells through elemental management (by gathering elements to craft spells from the available menu). Each player controls a single Hero. All players move and perform actions on the same map, whilst having their personal boards containing foraged elements, status and crafted spells. Both teams have a 5/6/7 HP Throne they defend whilst attacking the opposing one. Each team has 5/6/7 Life Points that are shared across the team. A Flag is positioned at the center of the map, granting significant buffs (and potential victory) to the team that manages to capture it. Players forage 4 available elements (Air, Fire, Water, Earth) from Rune Spawn tiles. Players use a combination of 3 elements to craft Spells. There are 20 possible combinations (and thus spells) in total. Each spell has its own Spell Type. There are 5 Spell Types: Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Neutral (no dominant element). Crafting 2, 3 or 4 spells of the same type grants the Hero appropriate Elemental Blessings (passive perks). This gives players an option between choosing to commit to one spell type or more flexibility. A player can craft the same spell twice, enabling him access to Enhanced version. This gives players an option between choosing to focus on stronger spells or more flexibility. Players use spells to battle each other and support their teammates. —description from the designer
