Hello Forge folks!

We revealed a small surprise during our Anniversary livestream, and now you can actually play it. Magic Item Bash is live! 😎

You can jump in right now by clicking the controller icon on the right side of The Forge’s menu bar. No setup, just play!

What is Magic Item Bash?

Magic Item Bash is a fast, light strategy card game about reading other players, predicting their moves, and surviving just long enough to walk away with the best treasure.

Each round is a mix of bluffing, guessing, and just the right amount of chaos.

You’ll peek at other players’ hands to plan ahead, swap entire hands when things get risky, and try to hold onto valuable treasures that can disappear at any moment… because of course they can.

One bad guess, one stolen card, one perfectly timed betrayal, and your “brilliant strategy” can fall apart instantly. 👀

Built with BGK

Magic Item Bash was built using BGK, our in-development game engine here at The Forge. It’s designed to assist board game designers in creating their games, from conceptualization to actual production.

This is our 5th game made with it, and we’re just getting started.

We still have a lot planned for BGK, and we’re looking for feedback from people interested in testing it, experimenting with it, or helping shape where it goes next. If that sounds interesting, feel free to reach out to us via [email protected] or by reaching out on Discord.
