Shapeshifters is a board game published by Fat Messiah Games in 1991. It centers on a duel between two magicians who are both adept at changing form, so the core of play is a contest of shifting shapes rather than direct combat with fixed pieces. Reviewer Scott Haring praised it in Pyramid magazine in January 1994, calling it an inventive game that is easy to learn but by no means easy to master, and noting that a full game plays in under an hour. The Wikipedia article notes it relies mainly on primary sources and lacks a formal infobox, so mechanical detail beyond the duel premise is limited.
