The Athenaeum of Hush · after hours
In the Athenaeum, wizards settle arguments the civilized way: by spelling at each other. Draw your tiles, build a word, cast it. Longer words hit harder. Rare letters burn.
Tap tiles (or type) to spell a word of 3+ letters, then Cast. Damage is the sum of the letters plus a length bonus; a gilded tile counts double. First to zero ink loses.

Grimbald adjusts his spectacles. "Begin, if you must."

The full game is a ladder of word-duelists, each with a style. Grimbald plays long and slow. Pip the Punster only plays words that sound like other words. The Sisters Vowel never play a consonant if they can help it.
