Read the full game description
Unreliable Wizard is a fifteen-minute solo adventure assembled from a small deck of cards. Your wizard spends precious life to travel across the map, confront minions, and rescue allies before facing the Demon Lord. Combat is a pattern puzzle: line up the elements and values in your hand to satisfy a spell, then decide whether the reward is worth the cards and health you will lose. Allies and items improve your odds, but every detour tightens the clock. The challenge is to build just enough power for the final battle without exhausting the fragile wizard on the road.
