About this game

The popular card game comes to the computer.

In Shandalar, the single player mode, you start with a small deck of cards/spells, wander the lands of Shandalar, exploring dungeons and battling monsters (and their specific spell decks). Along the way, you win/lose spell cards, go to markets to trade or buy new ones, and pick up the magic of the plane and more life. The game ends when you defeat the 5 powerful elemental wizards.

Multi-player mode supports deck creation with any of the included cards, as well as random "sealed deck" games.

This game supports cards from Alpha, Beta, Unlimited,Revised and 4th edition. It also has 12 new cards from the "Astral Set" made specifically for the game.
