WizKids will release its new strategy board game Tower of London in April 2017.

Created by Daryl Andrews and Stephen Sauer (The Walled City: Londonderry & Borderlands), Tower of London is an area control game set in the legendary castle at the heart of London.  Players use cards to place their Beefeater guards in the various buildings and to use their special abilities there. The game offers two ways to win: by collecting the most victory points over three rounds, or instantly, by collecting seven of the famous ravens that make their home in the castle.

Tower of London comes with 1 game board, 81 cards, 100 Beefeater cubes, and 31 ravens.  The game is designed for 3 to 5 players, ages 14 and up, and it plays in about 45 minutes.  MSRP is $24.99.

The new game will be released about a month after WizKids’ Dungeons & Dragons board game Assault of the Giants (see “WizKids Releasing Two Versions of ‘Assault of the Giants’”).
