Wizard's Council is a very creative and compact 5-page card-based RPG. Every player uses their own deck of standard playing cards that they use to influence the game. Players have the ability to modify the game itself to suit their purposes and annoy other players, a mechanic that fits in perfectly with the flavor of wizard councils vying for control of a city through lawmaking trickery. The game is played in a discrete number of rounds that have different phases of play, and it seems you could complete a satisfying game in very short order. For such a small package it contains a lot of depth. It is a very unique game and if you've got a creative bunch playing it, every game will be totally different -- even down to the rules!
