Clips from the labyrinth

Scenes of Wiz-War, played by the rules and filmed through the wizards' own eyes. Each clip has a first-person take and a board take of the same moves.

19s The Wormhole Heist

Nine strides on a number card: through the south mouth, around the back row, out with a treasure.

31s The Warp Sniper

Line of sight threads a wormhole: a fireball cast into one mouth arrives through the other.

15s Springing the Trap

An ambush watches its corridor through a wormhole — and fires the moment a wizard crosses the far sightline.

21s The Leap

A pit yawns in the corridor — but the die says the intruder sails clean over it, onto the trapper's doorstep.

24s The Puppeteer

Mental Force walks the enemy to exactly where you want them — which has its risks.

27s The Stone Gaze

Medusa freezes a wizard solid — and stone, inconveniently, cannot be hurt.

21s The Rout

Go Away hurls a wizard down his own corridor, as straight a line as the maze allows.

19s Knock Knock

Blast the wall between you — the rubble bloodies both sides of it — then step through the breach.

22s The Shield Holds

Five points of fire meet a Full Shield, and the shield wins.

27s Fire in the Webs

The Sticky Wand binds a wizard in silk — and fire burns twice as hot in a web.

36s Dust and Light

A dust cloud hides her from his spells — so he throws a warp behind her, steps through the light, and she flees blind into her own dust.

Wiz-War is Tom Jolly's classic of magical combat. This is a fan-built table — deal yourself in.
