White Wizard Games | Epic Card Game | Board Game | Ages 13+ | 2 to 4 Players | 20 to 40 Minutes Playing Time

Collecting Game Cards like these can be an expensive hobby, specially if you're determined to track down every available card for a vast and ever-growing plethora such as the leading brands tend to have. Epic provides a single 120 card stack, with no duplicates save the 8 'token' cards. Whilst there are expansions for Epic, you don't NEED them - they just add some extra variety. The set is divided into four alignments (essentially wild nature, evil, good and arcane), making it readily suited to two to four players. It's equally easy to use dice or some other means of random choice to simulate an opponent(s) if you wish to play singly. The cards in this set feature attractive artwork and a clear, pleasing design. The deck is divided between Champion cards - assorted creatures - and Event cards which are used to cast spells, transform lycanthropes, cause lightning storms, etc, etc, and effect the creatures and thus the course of the game. The creatures are of a wide variety including Medusa, Dinosaurs, Fairies, Demons, Angels, Dire Wolves, Minotaurs, Dragons, knights, wizards, Vampires, Unicorns, Trolls, etc, etc - along with the unwelcome and perplexing silliness of sticking King Kong in for no very legitimate reason. One thing about the creature cards perplexes me. Most games of this type tend to throw up some slightly odd combat ratings for characters in the interests of making the game "balanced", but Epic has a few real oddities. Such as the Winter Fairy. This is a Fairy - a Fairy, no less - who has exactly the same combat rating as a gargantuan subterranean worm monster that must be close to two-hundred feet long to judge by the artwork and has individual fangs bigger than a man. And this Worm that Arrakis Forgot has the same combat rating as a Fairy. The same Obviously Lethal Fairy also has an identical combat rating to the "Dark Leader", a hulking, armoured knight presumably relatively high in the hierarchy of evil. Odd that. The shockingly dangerous Winter Fairy is one of my favourite cards in the set, actually. And there are plenty of other values on some of the characters that seem totally out of proportion, one way or the other. But these are the kind of quirks that only bother people like me who spend FAR too long considering how a Fairy takes on a two-hundred foot long monster fang-worm on an equal footing. The game play basics are straightforward, and the more detailed elements are easily picked up with a little practice. Also, as with most such games, you can always bend the rules to your own preferences anyway; I usually do - it even says as much in Epic's included instruction guide. For anyone looking for an engaging fantasy card game neatly contained in one simple package, this is a good option. Especially if you like Killer Fairies and giant worms that would make Graboids turn tail.

This is an awesome game and very good value for money. It's a shame that the expansions are so expensive and it looks as though I shall be restricted to the core game. But the saving grace of this is that the core game is sufficient without any expansions. I haven't played this yet but am looking forward to playing it soon and adding it to our usual Star Realms and Shards of Infinity. .............. A day later:- Now played this. Exceeded expectations. Fairly difficult to grasp (for a non-MTG player!) but excellent and well worth staying with. This will definitely get played often with my game playing friends (who aren't many as I'm now 82!).

Brilliant card game for those that don't want to be in a cycle of endless booster packs. Enough cards to have many many varied games, great art and just good fun. Downsides are some of the card rules aren't that clear but can be clarified looking them up on online, you'll also likely need to make copies of the token cards (wolves, demons etc) as you don't get anywhere near enough in the deck. You'll also need +1 counters. For health scoring there is an official score keeper app in the Google play store

I’ve put 3 stars as the art work and quality of the card are great but as much as I thought this game was okay , it took me a while to learn how it plays but it still confuses me to the extreme is not easy to get to grips with and games felt longer to play than other deck builders . if your looking for a deck building game or first time starting in deck building maybe instead get acension or star realms or marvel/dc deck building games as it more user friendly or easier to play .

Like Magic but cheaper and you always get all the cards no random factor so not going to get your kids hooked up in gambling on cracking packets like scratch cards. Also no mana curve and simple meta game. The artwork is comparable with mtg. TRY IT ONLINE FIRST!

Easy to play, everything is all in one box for some quick and easy games

Really great game, the artwork is amazing and the game time is generally quite quick. Like the fact that it comes as a complete set with no additional deck building required (although expansion packs are available). As someone who is new to this type of game I found the rules a little hard to get to grips with so recommend downloading the online resources that are available on the official website.

I'm impressed. As a long time magic player I was interested how you could simplify a "magic" style of game and still keep it interesting. Epic does it by stacking the deck with 120 unique cards most of which are bombs. Easy to learn and fun to play. What more do you want? This makes for an excellent game, a steal for just over £10.

Te gusta Yu-gi-oh pero ya se ha vuelto muy complicado y ya no es divertido? Este juego trae de vuelta los dias de gloria cuando todo lo que tenias era ataque, defensa, efecto, carta trampa y hechizo. Es muy divertido de jugar una y otra vez, para toda la familia, realmente una buena compra.

Update: Ich habe grössten Respekt vor den Designern dieses Spiels. Ich spiele es immer wieder zu zweit mit meiner Freundin seit ca. 11 Monaten, mit der Tyrants Expansion seit 5 Monaten. Es macht immer noch Spass, in den 120 Karten lassen sich immer wieder Synergien und Spielstrategien entdecken. Und Da es nur 120 Karten plus ca. 48 Karten pro Expansion sind, ist das Management der Karten ganz einfach. Ein paar Magic-Spiele kamen mir geradezu langweilig vor, da die Karten dort so viel schwächer sind und das Spiel nicht so abwechslungsreich. ------------------ + Hohe Spieltiefe + Viele verschiedene Spielarten (Sealed, Draft, Constructed, 4 Pre-Constructed-Decks zum Losspielen) + Eine kleine, ehrliche und praktische Box für die Reise (bei anderen Spielen wird viel Inhalt mit einer großen Schachtel simuliert) + tolles Artwork + Sehr gut für 2-Spieler geeignet + Sehr an Magic angelehnt, aber mit wesentlichen Unterschieden o Mir machte es aber erst so richtig Spass nachdem ich die Karten besser kannte und eine Strategie verfolgen konnte. Es ist von Vorteil wenn Freunde auch Lust haben da tiefer einzusteigen. Es ist wie beim Schach, mit einem Neulig zu spielen ist nicht dasselbe wie mit einem gleichwertigen Gegner.

Fast and fun

Produto de excelente qualidade e exatamente como o anunciado!

Ho incominciato a giocare a Magic sulla Playstation dopo un pó volevo acquistare un Deck per giocare con mio cugino, ma ho visto che la scelta e quasi troppo grande e bisogna spendere abbastanza per avere due deck carini per giocare.. sapendo poi che esistono sempre carte piú forti in circolazione che costano un casino.. Rovistando in Internet ho scoperto Epic the Card Game che é stato inventato da Rob Dougherty,Ex giocatore professionale di Magic. Per questo il gioco e molto simile a Magic ed é addiritura piú divertente e veloce,siccome non si deve aspettare ad aver abbastanza Mana/Land per giocare le carte forti.. Il gioco si trova normalmente a sotto i 15€ e al interno si trova tutte le carte per giocare tantissime partite divertenti.Se si vuole si trovano i expander pack a 5€ senza sorprese di trovarsi carte scarse,siccome viene scritto sul pacchetto quali carte si trovano al interno. Le carte hanno dei disegni stupendi che hanno nulla da invidiare a quelli di magic. In poche parole Epic é una validissima alternativa a Magic,per persone che vogliono divertirsi subito senza diventar matti a fare del deckbuilding e a spendere somme esagerate per un pezzetto di cartone.. Fra un pó uscira anche la versione digitale del gioco per cellulari, al momento si trova in fase beta. A chi piacciono i gioci fantasy consiglio anche "Hero Realms" della stessa dittá.
