The Augmented Wizard Duel is a dice game that leverages glyph covered dice to represent the casting of spells.

The players are represented by avatar wizards that stand on towers on either side of the playing field. Each player rolls their respective "spell die." The computer recognizes the glyphs and determines the outcome of the combination. For instance, an Ice Dragon would defeat a Fire Goblin.

Spells are hierarchical with ties resulting in no win for either player. Each player has three hearts and loses a heart after losing a round of spellcasting. When one player has no hearts, game is over.
