Unboxing Thursdays: The Last Spell

Unboxing Thursdays we open, learn, and play games as we add them to our library.

In the tactical co-operative game The Last Spell: The Board Game, a tabletop adaptation of Ishtar Games' video game of the same name, you are a hardened warrior whose only purpose in life is to desperately defend the last of the mages while trying to cast "the last spell" and banish all magic from this world and maybe save us all.

The game is set in a dark fantasy, post-apocalyptic world in which you have to carefully manage the scarce resources at your disposal to survive long enough. Gameplay revolves around three cycles of day and night in which players use daylight hours to bolster the game economy, fortify defenses against nocturnal invaders, and upgrade their heroes' equipment to unlock more power.
