Wizards Cup — How to Play
Video tutorial · more videos

Wizards Cup pits two wizards against each other in a fast-paced magical duel that blends strategic deck construction with rock-paper-scissors decision-making. Designer Seiji Kanai, known for compact yet deeply tactical games, delivers a 15–30 minute contest where every card choice and combat prediction matters.

Each player builds their spell deck during the game, selecting cards that enhance their wizard's offensive and defensive capabilities. Combat resolves through simultaneous card reveals — predicting your opponent's move is as crucial as the spells you've prepared. The rock-paper-scissors core creates intense psychological tension, while the deck construction layer rewards strategic planning and adaptation.

With artwork by yamamori and a complexity weight of 1.81, Wizards Cup strikes a balance between accessibility and tactical depth. The 2023 release from La boite de jeu offers a concentrated dueling experience for players aged 10 and up who enjoy head-to-head competition with meaningful decisions packed into a short playtime.

Really like Wizards Cup. Only knocking a star because the first read of the rulebook left us with a few questions - a quick BGG search sorted it, but not ideal out of the box.

Thanks for the write-up - fair point on the two-player, appreciate you calling it out.
