The starting area for your school should be selected with care, especially, if you play in a challenge mode. (In Campaign mode you can win a buff after each completed level if you manage to complete 1 to 3 missions but you also have to chose a Curse = debuff each time you relocate your school.)

Instead of classrooms with teachers, it can be more efficient to make use of the different recreation rooms, the portal room, the library and various magical furniture/creatures to teach the students while they rest, eat or lower their boredom.Ĭ) All other difficulty levels are between these two extremes. – Next you will have to set the difficulty and the game length.Ī) In Novice difficulty, the students and teachers rarely sleep or need food, but you have still to watch for low sanity or high boredom in your students and teachers.ī) In Archimage difficulty, the students and teachers will be constantly hungry, bored and tired, to the point that the teachers get not much teaching done at all. Optionally you may also chose 6 spellbooks = 6 buffs for your school in Quick mode. However, the challenge can make winning very difficult.ī) In Quick mode (Sandbox) you can either play in one school until the army of darkness arrives or play endlessly in one location.

Each of the modes will – after winning the campaign with them once – unlock two new cards to enter your games.

It is also possible to activate a special challenge mode when playing the campaign. The challenge is, to defeat the Evil army in the 7th and last level.
