Game of Dice

Name of Game – Magic Duel

It's a grand battle of two magic users and see who comes out on top!  Two dice are used along with 30 master spell cards.  The cards are shuffled and randomly selected.  Each card has random spells listed in 6 sections.  Each section contains 6 spells.  This way the spells easily match up to the dice roll.   Each spell has a damage (1-10) and defense (1-10) rating.  Play them against each other to see how much damage is dealt.  Lower point spells are more common but cards are evenly matched on an overall rating.  First die rolled is for spell casting.  You use this number to select the corresponding spell block on the card.  The second die determines which spell in that block you are using.  Play continues until someone looses all life points.  Life points are determined between the players, you should start out at 30 for a quick battle but you can go as high or as low as you want.  If there happens to be a tie, then each has a sudden death battle, one final roll of the dice to determine who wins.

After playing I wanted to make a change to the game play.  Initially you select one spell card.  This limits your play as you keep the same card each time.  I changed this by adding a game variant.  For example, I set the game life points to 50.  For every10 life points by either player are lost, both players draw new cards.  This keeps things fresh.
