In the distant future, scientists drilling into the moon have discovered an ancient evil lurking beneath the surface: The remains of Dargoth the Undead. Intrigued by the deceased creature before them, those scientists brought the remains back to the earth in order to study them. But upon entering earth’s atmosphere, dargoth came back to life, and began to unleash his reign of terror upon the world.
Now there are only three remaining human shelters in the entire world, and dargoth will not last until every last one has been wiped out. But the survivors still have a chance to slay Dargoth if they can get past his army of zombies, maintain their defenses, and deal enough blows to slay the villain.
3 players will control the surviving camps. One will be Dargoth. Neither will rest until the opposition is no more in this 3 vs 1 card game.
The survivors will try to use anything they can find to fend off Dargoth’s zombie army. Each turn, the surviving camps will collect resources (cards), and will use those resources to do things such as build barricades, or do damage to Dargoth’s forces.
However, Dargoth will also be using his powers of chaos (cards) to try and overtake the survivor bases. Some of these powers include spawning zombie minions, healing damage done to Dargoth, and other dark magic.

In Spell Casters, you will take control of a wizard and strategically cast spells to obtain new spell cards and disrupt your opponents. Throughout the game, you will string together spell cards to build the ultimate spell, and you must pronounce them in quick succession to use their effects.
