Think twice before you mess with magic, or you might spend the rest of your life as a frog! In the mean and clever card game Loser, there are no winners: You are either safe or the loser.

Your opponents will try their best to throw you off and ruin your plans, so watch out and don't lose your cool because if you lose twice, no potion will save you!
