Years of tutelage under the late Archmage Andor have culminated in this moment; his two protégés must now become rivals and battle to determine who will become the next Keeper of the Grimoire. As protection from your rival, you have only your magical gifts, your mastery of the Grimoire, and a select few spell pages ripped from its binding. Pick carefully; the spells you choose will allow you to counter your opponent, twist the fabric of time, and deal devastating damage, but only if you are able to find synergies between spells and manage your mana reserves carefully.
In this two player strategy card game, you must fulfil your destiny and become the Keeper of the Grimoire. Defeat your opponent by drafting new spells from the magical Grimoire, casting them, managing your cooldowns, and dealing massive damage.
Each turn, draft one new spell to be added to your spell repertoire. But be warned! Your opponent has access to the same spells you do, so choose the spells you want before your opponent does! Continue updating your spell repertoire throughout the game to optimize your deck and counter your opponent.
Cast spells. Deal devastating damage or confuse and trip up your opponent. More expensive spells will have a larger impact on the game, but be careful, they will cost you more mana and will have a longer cool down. You can cast as many spells as you like on your turn so long as you have enough mana and the spells are not in cooldown. Find spell combinations that work together and time them correctly, to increase your damage or counter your opponent.

Of course, a nice tutorial is provided for you to learn how to play, if you do not wanna dive into the rules, even if they are quite simple to understand.
And lastly, before writing the usual credits and thanks we love to do for all games, we need to let you know that an expansion to the original game is coming! It's on their Kickstarter page you can find by clicking here.
We would love to thank MGoulet for the wonderful development there, as well as Grimoire Games and the game designers Cole Banning & Joe Banning for their authorization to bring the game online on Board Game Arena!
That's it for this Monday.
What's coming next? A few more games.
Brace yourselves, Essen Spiel is coming!
Until then, take care and play fair!
