Each die represents a wizard, and you'll roll and choose the order of actions to build tower segments, gather elemental energies, and convert them into valuable spells. The game has a speculative twist: element values start negative and fluctuate as the game progresses. You can build high-value rooms, destroy bad ones, cap towers to score early, and even reroll dice to adjust market outcomes.
