In Wizard's Mansion, players explore a modular, mobile board of 36 double-sided tiles representing two floors of a mansion. The tiles rotate and shift, creating a dynamic maze. Players search for magical objects and must exit through one of four doors while avoiding soldiers and a wizard who can turn them into ghosts. The game blends exploration, object search, and deduction in a changing environment.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed for 2 to 4 players aged 10 and up, Wizard's Mansion is a medium-weight game lasting about 100 minutes. It suits players who enjoy tactical movement and deduction. Some experience with modular boards or deduction games can help but is not required.
How It Works
The game features a modular and mobile board made of 36 double-sided tiles representing two floors. Players move their pieces (Area Movement) to locate magical objects. Meanwhile, tiles rotate and shift, continuously changing the layout. Opponents like soldiers and the wizard hinder players by blocking paths or turning them into ghosts.
