We will only be at the World Boardgaming Championships on Saturday August 7th, but we hope everyone can join us in playing some PM54 games. We will be located in the open gaming room. Look for the guy with the PowerMage 54 black T-shirt.

Well, we looked around and realized we were looking a little 2005. So since we have made our announcement that PowerMage 54 is going iPhone app – we wanted to give the site a new look. Enjoy and we would love to hear about any feedback.
Also, tell us how you like PowerMage 54 the card game, and when PowerMage 54 is an iPhone app – what would you like to see it do?

Currently when playing powermage you follow these steps

1. Player Draws a card from Draw Deck
2. Action Play: Player decides to do one of the following:
   • attack using an Attack card*
   • increase their points by using a Health card*
   • use the ability on a Face card** or Thump card
   • pass their turn if the player holds 5 or less cards.  (Note: Thump cards MUST ALWAYS be used with a Face Card. See Attack, Health or Face card under Cards for more information.)

We are going to add one more option to the action play – this should make 2 player faster and more fun

• Player can discard any 2 cards in hand and draw two new cards. Player’s turn is over once the two new cards are drawn. The discarded cards are shown and added to the discard pile.

If you try this new rule, let us know how it works out for you. Our testing shows it REALLY makes a difference.

Second Look at PowerMage 54 (Purple Pawn) – “The action is fairly fast pace once you get the hang of things, and I was pleasantly surprised by the gameplay.” “Corey has created a solid, entertaining game in a small package.”

Boardgame News (December) – “the artwork was one of the notable pluses of the game.”  “For fans of other humorous card games like Munchkin or Fluxx, PowerMage 54 is definitely worth a close look.  And for fans of German-style filler card games like Coloretto and No Thanks, PowerMage 54 may be a sillier way to occupy your time between games of Caylus and Princes of Florence.  I particularly appreciate the fact that every card is unique and has great comic artwork to make the card play entertaining, especially when you block a ballistic missile with a well-multiplied pepper spray.”

Boardgame News (Tom Rosen J&J Con) – “As soon as I opened the game up, I was struck by how much attention to detail was paid to the artwork.”

The reviews are just getting better, and we have been featured in two more reviews.
