Pandasaurus Games releasing Wizards Cup and Unrest: Uprising

Pandasaurus Games is releasing Wizards Cup, a two-player card game where you pick a team of wizards to battle it out:

Enlist your champions and conquer the duel!

Wizards Cup invites players to a captivating duel of strategy and magical prowess in a world where Wizards from all elements—Fire, Water, Nature, and beyond—come together for the ultimate tournament. As a master strategist, each player selects and arranges a team of five Wizards to face their opponent’s champions. With each duel, Wizards clash based on their unique powers, elemental strengths, and values, creating an unpredictable and immersive experience!

Game structure

A round starts with each player randomly selecting 1 Wizard from their deck of 36 — these are set aside face up. Then they will secretly select 5 Wizards to complete their team, then program them in the order in which they will be played. At the beginning of each duel the top card of each player’s deck will be revealed. A Wizard can win or lose their duel according to their Magic Power, their Element, or their Value. The loser gets discarded and a new Wizard is drawn. A player wins a Victory token when their opponent can no longer play a Wizard. Setup for the next duel and the first player to 2 Victory tokens wins!

Also being released is a new expansion for Unrest called Unrest: Uprising that adds a campaign element:

The insurrection continues and both sides are relentless

The first expansion for Unrest, Uprising, plays over 3-5 games and introduces new twists for the Rebellion and the Empire. Each player takes on the role of the Rebellion or the Empire for the entire campaign, and the first player to win three games claims victory!

Gameplay is the same as the base game with a few exceptions. Each player will have Enhancement cards to aid them during the game. Additionally, after the first game, each subsequent one in the campaign will include a unique Scenario that changes elements of the game.

This is a very limited print run only available on the Pandasaurus Games website.
