Great game, thanks for the contest! I've likened this as feeling like both a deck construction and deckbuilding game, though it doesn't fall under either umbrella. The evolving deck draft works really great and I wish you continued success!

Appreciate it! Yeah we've struggled a bit with how to describe the game to new players, because there aren't very many examples of games leveraging the same mechanic. At its heart, the game is a drafting, engine builder. But the use of mana cards in your hand can make it feel more like a TCG or deck builder. At any rate, glad you've enjoyed playing!

Looking for a compact 2 player game for me and my gf. This looks really good

cool, game on bga is fun so far

Congrats on the expansion launch! We really enjoy the original and look forward to an expansion. Thanks for the contest!

I have been wanting to try this for a while

That’s so much for running the giveaway, I’m going to give the campaign a look!

Been looking forward to the next campaign!

As someone with a very heavy card game background, Wizards of the Grimoire is one of my favorite card games period. You guys did an amazing job, especially for a first time self publisher.

Heard good things about the original

Very cool! Will check it out on BGA!

I've heard great things about this game from the So Very Wrong About Games podcast. Would love to try it!

It's a really good game! The design work behind the combos is really interesting, as each card can almost always be played into a combo of some sort with the cards you've already selected. That being said... This game is almost worth having for the production quality alone. The cards feel sooo god.

I just learned and started playing on BGA this morning, and it's brilliant. Already planning on backing the expansion!

Was actually checking out the new BGA implementation today!

Very cool! I've been playing this a bunch on boardgamearena and really enjoy it! I'm so glad to hear it's coming back to KS with an expansion!

Fantastic game with tons of replay-ability and crazy moments. My friends and I were all pleasantly surprised at how well the game works and the amount of fun we had. Can’t wait to add shifting sands to our collection.

I am so excited for this expansion!!! I really think this game is very well designed. Each time I have played I have discovered nuances that make me appreciate the thought that went into the combinations you can create from the pool of cards. I am curious to see what the new cards will add to the variety of ways to put the spells together for a victory. Also, the games seem very close till the end which demonstrates a good balance as well. Play this game if you have not already.

I just started my first game of this on BGA today and now I'm seeing this thread. Good luck on the Kickstarter!

Great idea! I already have the game but I would be more than willing to give that new copy to a friend of mine who was introduced to the game by me.

Tried this on bga, was an interesting game. Would like to play irl to get a better feel for it.

Recently got into board games heavily recently and I'm so pleased you have a Kickstarter going and wishing all the success and win or no, I'll definitely get it!

Thanks, excited to try it out in person soon! Loving it on BGA, picked up a physical copy after trying it there.

Awesome :) Very appreciative of the support!

Had a great time playing this game at my local board game cafe! Keep up the great work!

Oh wow, never heard of this game, but will be watching the kickstarter (much to my wife's dismay I bet!) I've recently started looking at two player duel games since there is really only one person I've been playing with and I like getting new games ha! The main thing I'll be considering is the cost of shipping being an Aussie, and shipping hurts :( Good luck on the kiststarter!

I've heard about your game four days in a row from different people and tried it on BGA. Love it! Want it!

As someone who hasn't heard of a lot of board games, but married an avid board game enthusiast. This may be a perfect one to bring to our family game night and score some points with the Mrs. May the odds be forever in my favor.

That's especially generous of you. I will say that it's nice to see Kickstarter actually being used for....you know...kick starting a project. Are there plans for a "retail" or a direct sales version of the game in the US? I do see it available on the website, but shipping is pretty expensive (isn't it all these days).

Good luck, everyone!

Leaving a comment!!:)

Cool! I've been waiting on a reprint + expansion 👍😊

OMG! This looks amazing 🤩— Awesome!

Here's to hoping I get a shot!

The Game looks interesting. I am happy to participate.

Hey, thanks for the giveaway! I love the presentation and artwork of your game, it looks like something truly special to bring to the table.

I’ve been looking for a good 2 player game! Good luck everyone!

Neat

I love a dedicated 2 player game. This one looks really cool!

Can't ever have enough two-player card battlers and I have heard only good things about yours. :)

Nice. Good luck.

looks fun, thanks for doing the giveaway!

I'd love to give it a try! Heard good things about it from the SVWAG podcast

We almost always end up playing with just two would love to give this a go

A comment

Thanks for the contest chance! :D

Always down to check out a new game, best of luck with the expansion!

Wow looks fun! Thanks for the giveaway!

Looks cool will put it on a lost to check it out

Thanks and congrats on the great game

Good luck everyone

Didn't know about this game until now, and what better way to try it than winning a giveaway lol

Yay!

Thanks for the contest and congrats. I've waffled a few times on picking up WoG due to comments about it being 'overly' balanced kept me from pulling the trigger. I like the feeling of doing cool or powerful things in dueling games, from what I've read WoG has a lot of smaller tactical back and forth, but no big flourishes. Does these new expansion cards add any new effects that make a player feel more powerful? Or would say these reviews are off base with the feel of the game?

Two great questions. The expansion absolutely creates WAY more opportunity for large flourishes. The new spell type "Relics" were specifically designed to create a lot more dynamic turns and exciting big swings. Within the base game, I think there's some truth to the comment - but I also think it's partially a reflection of new players not being familiar with the spell options and therefore having a harder time identifying and piecing together the big combos. It's not uncommon for better players to pull of 20-30+ damage turns with the right spells.

I had this on my radar during the campaign but forgot about it because of a bunch of different things around my job and twins being born 🤣 looks like I'll get a do-over ❤️

I would love to win this! 🏆 new to the hobby and excited to try new games

Cool stuff

Count me in!

Nice spellslinging is great

Been looking for more games to play with my partner and I quite like the theme of this. I'd be happy to get the opportunity :)

This is the first I've heard of this but it looks super interesting. I hope I win!

Excited for Shifting Sands!

Looks like a cool game. Will likely try to pick it up regardless

Hey cool!

Looks cool!

I remember seeing the original kickstarter. Glad it worked out well enough for an expansion. Good luck!

Will have to check it out. Looks amazing!

Wow. This is really awesome. Good luck on the expansion Kickstarter. This would make an awesome addition to game night with the fam!

Very cool! Love the art.

Thanks for doing the giveaway! I'll have to look into this game. It looks fun!

Wow that's super kind of you. Best wishes on the kickstarter, would poverty to win!

Lovely!

This game looks cool, look forward to launch!

I'd love to be entered! Always on the hunt for a good two player game

Heard good things about the original

Looks like fun!

Thank you for running the giveaway!

I love when expansion is not necessarily expansion per say. >This expansion can be played on its own or mixed with the base game for more wild spell combinations. I am definitely wishlisting this regardless of giveaway, entire concept is dope.

I always love trying new games

Cool! Just saw the tutorial of the base game on BGA! Would love a copy :)

Aaa so nice! I look forward to launch 🙌🏼

Game sounds cool. Bummer i didnt see the kickstarter before.

Looking forward to checking this out!

Looks like an interesting game. Best of luck with the Kickstarter!

Oh dope!

It looks great!

I'll throw my hat in the ring, sounds fun, thank you!

Thank you for posting this! I love 2 player games so I'm excited to enter

Awesome! I'd really look forward to play

Looks super cool!!

Wow this looks good, sad I missed the original KS!

I saw this was added to BGA. Looking forward to trying it there.

Thanks for doing this giveaway. I had not heard of the game until today, so the marketing campaign seems to be working!

Looking forward to trying this one! Good luck

Commenting to participate! It looks interesting though, will you or the game be available at this year's SPIEL? :)

I wish. We're located in Canada and do this all on the side while working full-time jobs, so it just isn't in the cards for us. Maybe one day!

Congrats on the success! And this is a great gesture to our growing community :)

Sign me up!

:)

Thank you for sharing the details! Never heard of this till now, will definitely look in to this. Good luck for the KS launch! Watching the campaign.

Play online all the time! Would love an in person copy!

I’m excited to check it out, good luck everyone!

Oh that's cool. Look at me, I am participating!

I was curious about this game. It seems very up my alley!

This sounds really interesting. Curious how it says itself apart from other games on that genre. Will have to take a closer look.

Congrats and thanks for the giveaway!

This looks super cool! Thanks for the giveaway!

This looks really cool, I really like 2p card battlers.

I would love to try Wizards of the Grimoire Edit: I just noticed that it's on Board Game Arena. I'm going to start a game now.

Very nice of you

Thank you for the opportunity! I'm very excited!

Ohh I want to play it!

I saw this game on the store shelves last year, read the back of the box and bought it on a whim. Best $20 blind buy I’ve made in ages! You bet I’ll be backing shifting sands!

That's awesome. Really appreciate the support /u/YuPanger!

Wow, looked up this game and I have to say that I’m very interested !!

So cool ! Thanks

Watched the how to play video. Looks interesting to me!

Very cool!

Always down for a new game

Full release on BGA happened today :)

Very excited, good luck!

I have a lot of friends in my gaming circle. It would be cool to bring this to table with them.

Good luck to everyone!

Are you guys going to Spiel?

Unfortunately we won't. Maybe one day! We're located in Canada and work on this part-time, so it just wasn't possible for us to swing it this year.

Would love to try this game!

This would be fun to play with my wife! Good luck on the upcoming Kickstarter!

Neat! I’m interested.

Count me it looks like a cool game 🎯

I remember hearing about this, it has a good rep! I would like to try it with my fiance 😁

It's a great game! Looking forward to the expansion

I've been seeing this game a few places and it's looking pretty cool!

I'm always looking for more games that feel kind of like Magicka. My previous hits have been misses in a variety of ways, and this is looking pretty well to fill that particular niche.

looking at this game for a while, maybe it's the moment to try it out

Super cool. Good luck all!

Thanks for holding this!

I've heard your stuff is pretty decent but never got to play it.

Hey! You won! I sent you a DM but haven't heard back. Would love to get you your copy of the game :)

Looks like an awesome game!

Oh I want to play it!! <3

Neat, looks pretty interesting! I'll have to check this out even if I don't win

Missed the campaign, def looks interesting, so thanks for sharing and doing a giveaway!
