Shandalar: 30th Anniversary Edition - Alpha Release

Rebuilding the 1997 Cult Classic "Shandalar" for its 30th Anniversary

For the 30th anniversary, we're rebuilding the game from scratch! This is our chance to share the classic with a new generation.

Design Goals

Smarter AI: Faster, stronger play, clearer difficulty scaling
Moddable: Add new cards, world magics, dungeons, bosses, and more
Cross-platform: Windows, Mac, Linux, Web and Moble
Faithful to the original: Core art and play style unchanged
More fun: Additional world magics, more interesting dungeons
Stable: Fixed crashes and bugs from the original
Free and non-commercial: I played this on a Pentium 133 in high school and have come back to this game many times over the years.
