Magicka: Get your robes ready!
Magicka is a satirical action-adventure game set in a rich fantasy world based on Norse mythology. The player assumes the role of a wizard from a sacred order tasked with stopping an evil sorcerer who has thrown the world into turmoil, his foul creations besieging the forces of good. Players will be able to combine elements to cast spells, wreaking havoc and devastation on the minions of darkness. They will also be able to team up with friends and fight their way through the campaign, or test their skills in the magickal arts through other challenging modes.
In Magicka, up to four players take on a grand adventure to save their world from certain doom using a fully dynamic spell system. The adventure mode takes the players across three different environments, ranging from the lush forests of mountain valleys to the frozen halls of the Mountain King where wits and creative thinking are the keys to victory. In the challenge mode, players fight off waves of enemies to earn their place on local and online leaderboards.
Main Features:
Innovative and dynamic spellcasting system
Up to four-player co-op in all game modes, as well as a single-player option
Fight your way through a dozen different campaign levels
Explore an expansive realm of adventure to defeat the evil wizard
Find and unlock challenges, items, and powerful Magicks
Experience the parody and satire of a clichéd fantasy world
NOTE: Unfortunately, the original Magicka is not available on the Mac. However, there is a SMALL possibility that we will be able to make Magicka 2 available as an add-on AFTER the campaign is ended for an incredible Backers-only price.

Great job, Beautiful Backers!
With about a day and a half left we have crested the 1,000% funded mark and are RACING to the finish line! At the rate of the last 24 hours we COULD see the UNLOCKING of a couple more Stretch Goals...
It's not too late to UPGRADE your contribution to a higher level! HOWEVER, tomorrow night WILL BE TOO LATE!
Next Stretch Goal = FREE Digital Copy of Magicka for your PC - the video game that inspired this project!
If we UNLOCK the next Stretch Goal EVERYONE (including $1 Backers!!!) will get a FREE digital copy of Magicka for the PC!!!
Blind Wizards' Bluff Gameplay Mode UNLOCKED!!!
This brings the TOTAL number of unique Gameplay modes to FOUR!
Using the Blind Wizards' Bluff Rules (still being perfected so your input is critical!) dueling Wizards SHARE the same set of FACE-UP Spell Cards, but maintain their own hand of (hidden) Element Cards (and equipment, etc.).
What will your strategy be? Cast the lower-power Spell that you KNOW you have the Elements for now? or try to save up your Elements to cast that whopper of a Spell BEFORE your Wizardly competitors do (or block your from doing so - those sneaky, little...)? or try your luck with the next Spell Card that is drawn after one has been cast?
It also helps to put on your 'bluffing' hat! Whatever you do, don't leave too many hints as to your strategy or your opponents might figure it out and block or counter or protect themselves from your grand plan of Wizardly destructification!
'Unleash the DRAGON' co-op mode, here we come!
And, SURPRISE, there will be TWO Boss Monsters (if we hit the Stretch Goal).
Here's a little (we still want to keep the mystery alive!) something that the great folks at Paradox Interactive have cooked up for us to whet your appetite! The actual image is about 10x BIGGER than this!
This is a TIGHTLY-cropped image of POTENTIALLY one of the Boss Monsters.
Can you guess what kind of Boss Monster THIS is? The Wizard all wrapped-up in a web should give you SOME hint! ;-)
Please let us know in the comments below if you like it. These are just concept art at the moment.
We would like to see if we can include BOTH Boss Monsters in each set - Poker Card sized for the basic set and Tarot Card sized for the Box Set (UNLESS we Unlock bigger boxes for the basic set, in which case it will be Tarot-sized ALL AROUND!).
Yours in Massive Mayhem,
Ken and Ethan
NEW and Improved (i.e., LESS Stretchy!) Stretch Goals

Hey, Beautiful Backers!
We are 10 days away from taking OFF our Kickstarter Hats and DONNING our Card-Creating Hats! To entice you to share, Share, SHARE! we have seriously tweaked the Stretch Goals. Simply put, we made them EASIER to achieve much more FUN.
SIX Goals have already been UNLOCKED!
See the complete list at the BOTTOM of this update.
For instance:
The Unleash the Dragon co-op mode is no longer a printable PDF - it is now a complete RAID kit complete with Kickstarter EXCLUSIVE Epic Boss card, Epic Boss Spell cards and Treasure cards. This is available to ALL Backers (of course, the $1 Backers will be receiving these as part of their Print n' Play PDF - not physical).
Digital copies of Magicka ($10 VALUE) and Magicka 2 ($15 VALUE).
Upgraded Box Sizes for BOTH Basic Set Backers and Box Set Backers (try to say THAT 10x fast!). The bigger box for the Basic Set means that your Add-ons will fit wonderfully into the box with room to STRETCH their legs! You did add on some add-ons, right?!? They're just $17 each.
Some great art upgrades that are much more attainable than with the previous (very conservative) Stretch Goals.
Also, a variation on gameplay using DICE for the Elements instead of Cards. We're REALLY excited about this one! It adds an entirely different game mode that completely changes the dynamic of the game - slightly less strategic (since you roll for Elements each Round AND your Elements are visible to your opponents), but faster and more chaotic and more unpredictable (i.e., more MAYHEM-y!). In essence, you roll 5 8-sided dice, select the ones you want to keep (if any) and then re-roll. You then have these 5 Elements available to cast the Spell Cards in your hand. We are even working on a DICE-ONLY mini-game where you can cast Spells from a list in your Spell Book. Super fun!!!
Let's whip these Wizards into a FRENZY!!!
