About the game

What you do in a play session

In Eriantys, you take on the role of a headmaster of a magical school in a world of floating islands. Fantastic creatures like dragons, fairies, unicorns, and even frogs dreaming of becoming princes arrive to study. The goal is to increase your school's fame, competing with other wizards for influence. Each turn, you play a card, place your students, and move 'Mother Nature' across the board. The island where she lands is evaluated: whoever controls it can build a tower, and adjacent islands controlled by the same player can merge. The game ends when only three islands remain, students run out, or a player builds all their towers. The player with the most towers wins! Eriantys offers a strategic and tactical experience, with a modular board ensuring different games. There are team-based game modes and an expert version with special character abilities that add more complexity and fun. It's a quick game, ideal for those who enjoy strategy with a touch of fantasy and charming visuals, perfect for anyone seeking something different with good replayability.
