About the game
If you're already enjoying the magical chaos of Wandering Towers and looking to spice up your games a bit more, this mini-expansion is for you! It introduces two brand-new spells to further shake up the board and give you that strategic edge (or not, depending on luck!).

The first spell, 'Fill a Potion Bottle,' is straightforward: if you need a full potion to save the day (or to give your turn an extra boost), just use this magic and flip an empty flask to its full side. Simple as that, but it can be crucial in a pinch!

The second, 'Extra Die Roll,' is for those who like a bit more control over movement or want to take a little more risk. When a movement card is played, instead of using the indicated value, you can re-roll the die to see if luck is on your side. If the card already involved a die roll, you get to roll it again. The catch is that you MUST move according to the result of the new roll. So, think carefully before taking the gamble, as it might send you somewhere you didn't intend!

This expansion is perfect for players who want to add a bit more unpredictability and tactical options without overcomplicating the rules. It's a quick and fun way to boost Wandering Towers, ideal for those who have already mastered the base game and are seeking new ways to surprise their opponents.
