The Spoils – Day of the Tentacle

The Spoils is a collectible trading card game edited by the Arcane Tinmen.

It shares basic mechanics with Magic: The Gathering (5 ressources types, “spells” which have a direct impact on the game, and “creatures” called “characters”), but it also provides many improvements:

•  A game start with resources in play (no mana death)
• Ability to pay to draw a card or play a resource during a turn (no mana death and card advantage management)
• Ability to play any card face down to use it as resource (no mana death)
• “Speed” characteristic making combats less simple than those in Magic
• No “phases” during a turn (any action could be made at any time if legal)
• Very funny cards
• Very nice card graphics
