Uncantations

Description

Uncantations is a game of team-based puzzle solving for 2-6 players, where teams attempt to solve the puzzle of their opponents’ incantation before their own can be solved. But it may not be enough to simply solve it first - preparing the best response can be more effective than being hasty and sloppy. Attack their incantation with element cards and match their pattern card for card, earning points for correct matches and gaining more and more knowledge. Play Power Cards to draw additional cards, to manipulate the board, and to steal from your opponents' hands. Cast spells using sets of Element Cards to bolster yourself or hinder your foes. Use your wits to deduce the pattern and achieve Total Uncantation. Uncantations is a competitive game where communication with your teammates is key. Games average 30 minutes, with around 10 minutes needed to learn. It is simple enough that anyone can learn and enjoy it, but deep enough that skilled players will enjoy optimizing their strategies game after game. —description from the designer
