Epic Spell Wars - A dice rolling game with playing cards 

Love the idea of combining playing cards and dice. I've been working on a game. To add a "board" with pieces into the mix gets crazy. But you can use the cards as pieces, hidden like Statego, until an Attack happens revealing the cards. Then you can roll 1 of either your 4 sided, 6 sided, 8 sided, 12 sided, or 20 sided dies to augment your card. However, once you roll a die, it is set aside until all your other dice have been used. Then you get them all back. When a card is destroyed it is removed from the game. The victor can choose to move his card forward, however that card can be surrounded and at risk. Any cards bordering the card (except diagonally) can jointly defend, but cannot be augmented by Dice. 🎲🎲 Defender cards cannot move forward after winning a battle. The winner is decided by reaching the other side of the board. New cards only placed at the rear, one per turn if there is a slot open. Still working on it, but I love mixed games. Keep up the good work. I like the idea of each suit having special abilities, I've been focused on Black vs Red to keep it simple.

Always pick cards with 7 or close to 7! The probability distribution of 2d6 (two six sided dice roll) is represented by the Gauss curve. In other words, the number with highest probability of rolling on 2d6 is 7 (1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, 6+1). The further you go from 7 (up or down) the probability goes lower as there are less combinations you can get your number with. Probability of rolling 7 is 16,67 %. On the other hand rolling 2 (only one possible combination 1+1) has probability of only 2,78 %. Therefore I would suggest not to remove 10, J, Q, K, A, but 2, Q, K, A and count J as 11 for shorter game or remove 2, 3, J, Q, K, A for longer game. The reason is removing cards that are on the farthest side of 7 in order no to break the probability distribution.

You should compile a book of these it could be cool

Interesting. Definitely like the fact that you broke down the phases made it very accessible. and I like the mechanic during the cool-down phase where do you have a chance to get your cards back that you played previously.

You could cheese this by only taking cards with 7 on them because 7 is the most rolled number on 2d6's. Otherwise nice game.

I would add effects depending on what color you pick for your dice. Like your Ascension game and the card types. ‘Red’ could be burn damage if you roll doubles and White could heal if you roll doubles. Something that would make the game more competitive.

A better name may be Card Casters

May want to change the name. There's already a published card game named Epic Spell Wars

that looks nice! i'll try it with my brother tomorrow!

Good job!

Love the game! But, Maybe change the numbers of the cards. 7 is statisticly the most rolled number out of 2 dice. So make that the ‘middle’. Then go 3 above and under. So take; 4,5,6,7,8,9,10.. so there is a higher chance of getting you cards back. the rest you can use for the healthpack as they dont matter. Also people want to get high numbers on their dice so it might even be a higher number, but I think its good to not include J & Q into it to counter the winner a little.

It's amazing you come up with this, man. I wish I could do that XD !

I don't know if you're still reading but I love your games

2 of hearts is a great 'insurance' card against rolling snake eyes :P

cool ideas - love it... How about deal 1 or 2 Joker cards to every player, and they could be played as a bluff card, so nobody know how many club/spade cards you played ?

i’m confused about the timing between the attack & defend phases. so does a losing player finally take damage after the defend phase since this phase allows the player to alter their dice? or do they already take damage during attack phase? also, when do the attack cards take effect? i noticed that the spades card was used after the defend cards, so i’m not sure exactly. and lastly, how do the card values help in terms of the attack phase? during that phase, you mentioned that you won not only because of your dice roll, but also your attack cards.

I'm confused... How, after the cool down, do you get more cards to make a hand?

Few problems 1.What do we do if all players has no cards in their hands 2.Are the attack and defend cards still active when its on the table?

I really like the game and I wanna try to play it at some point I have no friends to play with btw

Any relation to actual epic spell wars game? It's pretty good. URS too

Awesome game. It would be cool if you added wizards and attacks.

Black-attack Red-defend

Cool game, I am planning to play it soon. But i have a question, during the reaction/defense phase, is it necessary to use the buff cards? Like can I save them? And also if I can save them how many moves can I do during the Defence phase? And what is the maximum amt of buff cards i can use during the action phase. Is it a must to use all black cards? Sorry if this is a lot of questions but i truly hope u can answer all of them. :)

So can you give me some instructions on how to play epic spell war to print out for me

What if i Play with 4 players? We fight 1v1 and 1v1 or we fight 2v2 or all vs all?

So, the cards that stay at the table keep making effect on future action phases?

when we are more than 2, we choose who we attack? and when?

i need subtitles in spanish

how would 3 or 4 player work?

I dont like to use dice so i made a different game: you remove 10, j, q, k, as to life, but the 32 remain are shufled all together. And 4 piles are made with 5 cards but all closed. The players catch the 4 card. Ande play all his blacks cards. The highest card wins. The clubs value is +1 off the card. So i played a 9of clubs and 2 of spades and the other played a 9 of spades and 8 of spades. I win becouse the 9 of clubs value like 10. And i have 1 spade card so i make 2 damage
