Setup

Place the circular path tiles, set the Raven's Keep, and give each player five empty potion flasks and movement cards.

The rules, step by step

Setup
To set up Wandering Towers, arrange the hexagonal tiles in a circle to form a path, placing the Raven's Keep tower at the designated starting point. Shuffle the movement cards and deal three to each player. Each participant takes a set of wizards of their chosen color and places them onto the towers according to the rules, alongside five empty potion flasks that represent their personal goal.
Objective
The main objective of Wandering Towers is to race your opponents by filling all five of your potion flasks and successfully guiding all your wizards into the Raven's Keep tower. Players must balance advancing their own wizards while trapping opponent wizards under towers to gain potions.
On your turn
On your turn, you must play two movement cards from your hand. These cards dictate how many spaces you can move your own visible wizards or the wandering towers along the track. Towers can trap any wizards they land on, hiding them underneath. Special spell cards can also be triggered during movements to manipulate distances, reverse directions, or free trapped wizards.
Scoring
Players earn progress by filling their potion flasks. Whenever you successfully cover and imprison one or more wizards beneath a tower during your movement, you fill one of your potion flasks, bringing you closer to victory.
Game end
The game ends during the final round when a player successfully fills their fifth potion flask and gets their final wizard into the Raven's Keep. The round finishes so all players get an equal chance, and ties are broken by remaining potions.
Tips
Keeping track of your hidden wizards beneath tall towers is essential, as forgetting their location can lead to costly mistakes. Strategically trap opponents while protecting your own pieces to secure victory.
