Read the full game description

Grimoire Shuffle is a team vs. team labyrinth crawl that follows after the spirit of WizWar and Dungeon Twister. Players are apprentice librarians of the Imperial Magical Library, working to collect books from the various circulation desks of the library and return them to the archives. The first team who is able to relay all of its books to the end will be declared the winning team. The library is constantly shifting, and as players reach the various circulation desks, they are able to acquire new books that grant them new spells. These spells are new ways to manipulate the library labyrinth as well as to interfere with foes. Players will have to watch out for their teammates as well as themselves, as everyone must complete their task in order to win.
