Rock, Paper, Wizard

"Rock, Paper, Wizard" is a fast-paced, hand-gesture card game that combines elements of strategy and social interaction, set in a whimsical, magical universe. In this game, players take on the roles of wizards who have just defeated a powerful dragon and are now arguing over its hoard of treasure. Instead of the traditional rock-paper-scissors gestures, players use hand signs to cast spells at each other, aiming to manipulate the position of themselves or their opponents around a circular track that represents the dragon's hoard. Each spell has a unique effect, such as moving players closer to the treasure, pushing others away, or swapping positions, with the goal of being the first to claim the dragon's gold. The game features a wide variety of spells, encouraging players to strategize and anticipate their opponents' moves. The social aspect comes into play as players can form temporary alliances, bluff, or predict what others will cast to advance their position. Designed for 3 to 6 players, "Rock, Paper, Wizard" is a quick game, with each round typically lasting only a few minutes and the entire game wrapping up in about 30 minutes. This makes it an excellent choice for parties or casual get-togethers, offering a blend of tactical depth and lighthearted fun.
