Put your reflexes to the test in the „SpellForce 2 – Shadow Wars" competition and win some great prizes!

To accompany the release of the game "SpellForce 2 - Shadow Wars", JoWooD and Deep Silver invite you to play a round of the famous thimblerig game. Every week until June 04th, you will have the chance to win a statuette of Shadowsong, 10 copies of SpellForce 2, 10 posters of the game and 5 brand new SpellForce 2 shirts!

Select your character and find it hidden beneath one of the three containers in the game of thimblerig. The more often you play, the more gold coins you can win. These will allow you to unlock additional characters in the course of the game.

In order to start, you have to wager a sum between 1 and 100 gold coins. Your character will hide under one of the three containers, which will then be swapped round. Can you keep your eye on the container that has your hero hidden under it? If you guess correctly you will double your money. If your guess is wrong, you will lose the sum you wagered. You're short of cash? Invite your friends to join in the game as well and receive 10 gold coins per invitation.

The player who achieves the best result in one week will be rewarded with a resin statuette of the heroine Shadowsong. Don't hesitate to check the rankings daily, or you might be knocked off the top spot by a more skilled rival ...
