About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever wondered what it's like to switch roles and, instead of being the hero raiding the dungeon, be the one setting the traps? In Towers of Evil, you take control of the 'villain' side in an experience that blends Roll and Write dynamics with classic Tower Defense strategy. The goal is simple yet challenging: build the most lethal defenses possible to annihilate the heroes who, stubbornly, attempt to storm your tower.

Gameplay revolves around dice rolls that determine your options. You'll need to manage gold and dark energy to erect powerful towers, but building isn't enough; positioning is key. Where should you place each tower to maximize damage? How can you chain abilities to create devastating combos? Every decision directly impacts your survival.

Versatility is one of the game's strongest points. Thanks to the combination of tower cards and hero cards, no two matches are the same. You can face heroes with different abilities and adapt your defensive strategy to every new scenario. Since it's a Print & Play game, the barrier to entry is low: just print it out, grab your dice and pen, and start crushing those adventurers.

Get ready for a tactical planning game where dice luck meets the precision of your pen on paper. If you love the feeling of seeing a perfect defensive plan work as enemies fall one by one, Towers of Evil is right up your alley. Just remember to plan carefully, because the heroes are fierce and will show no mercy to your tower!
