Lizard Wizard

Pros:- Good strategy game.- Art is stunning and dreamy.- The game mechanics are well-thought out and there are methods to earn points:ingredient tokens, spell cards, gold tokens, mana tokens, dungeon/treasure cards, research actions, and branches of magics for each wizard, their towers, and familiars.Cons:- Small pieces; not recommended for young children due to choking hazard.- Not a quick game. The duration is ~90 minutes at minimum (but I think it's worth the play time).Considerations:- I recommend watching tutorial videos on YouTube. It's a lot to take in at first but the demo scaffolds the game really well.

Pretty complex rules, but once you get it, it’s super fun. Pretty long game we’ve played for 3-4 hours and just end up declaring a time limit.

This is a brilliant game. Also check out Raccoon Tycoon by the same company. It’s adorable, clever, and well thought-out.In case you want to buy sleeves for the cards, there are 109 poker-sized cards and 156 larger 80mm x 120mm cards.Gamegenic MtG and Dixit sleeves work.

Great game. A family favorite. Stock market and set collection and spells.

Wow, this game is definitely beautiful. The artwork and style is great and the attention to detail with the pieces is surprisingly high. Overall the components for this game while not kickstarter level, are still high for a mass-market board game.Where the game suffers a bit is in the complexity. There are a lot of little moving pieces to each turn and while I've had harder teaches, this does happen to be one of the toughest teaches I've dealt with in a while. It took a while for our group to figure out the goals and different choices, which resulted in a huge point spread for the first game.Its a ton of fun, but might not be the best for people who struggle when there are just too many choices in a point salad type game. Still its on my list of games that will be regularly brought to various game nights.

As a huge Racoon Tycoon fan, I didn't think Lizard Wizard could be any better. I was wrong! Lizard Wizard improves upon features in Racoon Tycoon and adds more to enhance the gaming experience. The Familiars only offer more options per turn. It's a brilliant strategy game that my friends have grown to love. It's a must have for any board game enthusiasts.

This plays very much like it's predecessor raccoon tycoon. Lizard wizard is a bit more complex (barely) and takes a bit longer to play. I prefer the longer play time. I always felt like raccoon tycoon ended too quickly. Both are excellent games. I prefer the art in lizard wizard better. Raccoon tycoon takes up a lot less space on the table.

i got this simply because i thought the name was cute. but once i started playing it, i fell in love with the game, its so fun. i played for hours and didn't notice the time flying by. I'm exited to play this again soon
