Overview

In The Wandering Towers, players are competing wizards seeking to be the first to bring their wizard meeple into one of the Wandering Towers. The game is played using a deck of cards that each player has to manage, with which you move both your own wizards and the towers themselves along the winding path.

The core tension lies in remembering which tower holds your wizard, as you can secretly place them inside. However, the other players will also be moving the towers and other wizards, so keep a close eye on everything in order to avoid losing your position, or helping out another wizard! When a wizard arrives at the final space inside of a tower, the game ends and the winner is declared.
