Do you ever dream yourself away to a magical, fan-filled sports arena where you are a wizard in the center of attention? Do you enjoy the idea of magical water coolers, obese Vikings and living electric fences?
What is it?
It’s a Trading Card Game (TCG) where you as the wizard in charge of your team will have to use a ton of spell-flinging, a lot of trap arming and even more monster attacking (and you can totally drain your monsters for mana as well!). In Major League Wizardry (MLW) wizards are regarded as sports-stars with cheerleaders, fan clubs, greedy managers and unfair sponsorship deals. While climbing the league ranks, you unlock new cards, level up your monsters and expand your card pool to improve your deck.
Ok, so what about the actual game?
“With Major League Wizardry we have created a game that brings the look, feel and passion of a real card game to the mobile devices. Flicking through your collection, looking at the cool illustrations, having fun with the small flavor texts and trading cards with your friends is something we feel have been neglected in the current digital TCG’s.” – says David Reeckmann, CEO of Game Made Studio
In short, Major League Wizardry is a cross-platform Trading Card Game designed for the mobile devices. The game is played either as a multiplayer game or asynchronous when on the go. It’s straightforward and easy to pick up even if you haven’t played TCG’s before. Below is a teaser trailer for the beta.

Real cards!?
That’s right! In MLW we link the physical cards and the digital game, and real cards will introduce different kind of unlockables when scanned in the right combination – without providing players with unfair advantages, of course.
This feature is heavily tied in with you being able to level up your monsters and makes MLW like a cross between Skylanders and Pokemon Cards! Read what gamesbrief.com have to say about MLW and how physical goods can enhance the digital gameplay.
