About the game
What you do in a play session
The game features a circular board where movement always flows clockwise. The real game-changer is the towers: you can move them to shorten your path or, even better, stack one tower on top of another. When you do this, you trap any wizards on the tower below. Why do this? Because capturing the magical essence of your opponents is the only way to refill your potion bottles!
On your turn, you play movement cards that determine whether you move a wizard, a tower, or both. Some cards have fixed values, while others depend on dice rolls. If you're clever, you can spend your potions to cast powerful spells that can shift the course of the game. Ravenskeep itself isn't stationary either; the castle advances across the board as wizards arrive, making the goal mobile and unpredictable. To win, you'll need strategy, a good memory to keep track of tower positions, and a bit of mischief to trap your classmates. It's a dynamic game with great tactile components and that 'I'm almost there' tension that makes every turn exciting. Whether playing solo to test your skills or in teams to dominate the school, the goal is clear: arrive first, with full potions, and secure your master's degree!
