About the game

In this simple card game most cards represent wizards, and a number shows their degrees of magical powers. Players in their turn play a card with a larger number than the previous card. They also can play more cards if they have the same value, in that case the sum of the values counts. If a player cannot, or does not want to continue, takes all the cards played and a new "battle" begins. The winner is the player with the fewest cards at the end. Re-implements: Escalation!
