The first edition of this expansion for Castle Panic was nominated for an Origins Award in 2013 (see "Origins Nominations Announced"). In this expansion, Thalgar, a friendly wizard, joins the battle allowing players access to a powerful deck of spell cards while his tower is still standing. The expansion also adds magical imps, evasive flying creatures, fire-breathing monsters, and more for players to fight against. The expansion also has six new Mega Boss Monsters, including the Dragon and Necromancer. It also adds a fire attack that will roast Monsters, but may also burn down part of the castle.

The Wizard's Tower expansion, when added to the base game (see "'Castle Panic 2E'"), supports one to six players, ages 8 and up, and plays in 60 minutes. It will retail for $29.95.
