Each year, the graduating classes of the Ravenrealm Magic School compete to demonstrate their mastery of magic. For the final exam, all the wizards of each class must assemble at the legendary Ravenskeep… but every last one of them has procrastinated, distracted by learning new spells. They’ve also used all their potions—they can’t show up unprepared, with empty potion bottles! Help your wizards get to Ravenskeep as quickly as possible. Using their magic they could even move the very towers atop which they stand to get there more easily! But how can they refill their potion bottles along the way? Well, here’s a little secret: Trapping wizards allows you to capture some of their magical essence in a bottle…
Guide a class of forgetful young wizards to Ravenskeep in Wandering Towers. Every player is trying to move all their wizard meeples into the legendary tower and refill every empty potion bottle before their rivals complete the same magical final exam.
Movement Cards can advance a wizard or move one of the towers around the circular landscape. Because towers stack on top of one another, moving a tower can carry its occupants to a new location or cover the wizards standing beneath it. Remembering where concealed figures are trapped becomes an important part of every turn.
Trapping any wizard beneath a tower refills one of the active players potion bottles, even when the captured figure belongs to an opponent. Filled potions can then power magic spells that change movement and positioning. The constantly shifting tower stacks create a compact race shaped by memory, timing and opportunistic interference for one to six players.
