The More Powerful the Magic, the More Danger in the Wielding

Behext is a magical combat deck-building game, where your hand of spells is both your only defense and your only currency. To that end, you must sacrifice cards from your hand, and even your own willpower, to custom build your arcane arsenal.

Begin as one of 6 unique Battlemages specialized in their own magical discipline. Then, tailor your deck to your strategic tastes and in reaction to emerging opportunities. Curse and counter-curse your opponents into submission. . . without being Hexed yourself by the wild magics that have since passed beyond your control.

An unconventional deck-builder that is highly interactive as you constantly deflect Hexes around the table. You are not building a resource engine so much as constructing your deck to deliver the types of interactions you want to have with other players. Will you specialize in forcing discards to deprive them, focus on negation magic, attack their Willpower with direct damage - or take on chaotic and possibly dangerous spells to build Victory points into your deck at great risk to yourself?

Plus, newly conjured spells are not put into your discard pile, rather than forcing you to wait for their return, but are placed directly into your hand. You can play them immediately - right when you need them most.

1. Pass the Hex token between players by casting spells to deflect the attack to a rival Battlemage.

2. Discard cards, temporarily lowering your defenses, to Conjure more powerful spells for immediate use.

3. Casting spells will constantly alter the power and effects of the Hex in mid-flight.

4. When an opponent cannot deflect the Hex, they are BEHEXT, losing Willpower, while you gain it for targeting them successfully.

Cindr

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

Cindr is a fun press your luck game with an interesting mechanic of your odds of success being weighed against your dates compatibility. Every game of Cindr has room to be different. The components are well made, and the cards have the hokey cheese you'd find on a typical trying way too hard to be funny Tinder Bio. I think the shared humor and getting into it would diminish over time if you have a set group - there are only so many dragons, and only so many times you can go the extra mile of trying to be in character as your little avatar, but mechanically its a fun game, super fast to learn, and play.

Warning you are gonna get burned

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

I played this game withy wife , her sister and her best friend. And this game will reveal the truth about how well you can really read a dating profile, it's a simple push your luck game where your made up personality meshes or bounces off another toxic dragon with better dice (beware they are all toxic between the gold dragon whose really down to earth but will leave you for your friends after one bad date, or the goody two shoes dragon of light whose just not into tattoos) Pick a location from a few choice whelp reviews swipe left on a dragon or cash in some love from your previous dates to steal your date from another player, get burned though and you'll get a do over for the next shot at love. This game will have you laughing and joking that at least pyre wasn't as bad as your sisters boyfriend with the bowl cut. In short if you enjoy friends, family ,dice , bad dating advice, and a dash of fantasy pick up Cindr today.
