An evil magic key is coveted by two mages: an evil wizard wants to use its powers to nefarious ends, and a good wizard wants to destroy it. Problem is, the evil wizard has disguised himself to look just like the good wizard, so which of them do you give the key to?
Andrew Looney's newest card game is a double-dealing deception adventure for 4-10 players. Luck determines your path, but your cunning determines the outcome.
Everyone is dealt a card assigning them a role. You could be the Good Wizard, the Evil Wizard, the Traitor, the Key Holder, or a Guard. The Traitor and the Guards know who the Key Holder is, but only the Wizards know which is Good and which is Evil. The game proceeds as an open discussion about who might be the Traitor, which Wizard is Evil, etc, until someone makes a move that ends the round. If something Good happens (such as a Guard grabbing the Traitor or the Good Wizard being given the Key) then the Good players win the round, whereas the Evil Wizard and the Traitor win if the Evil Wizard gets the Key (or the Good players make a bad call).
After each round, everyone on the winning team gets a Treasure card, with values ranging from 0-5 points. The first player to collect 10 treasure points wins!
