About this board game

Eriantys is a strategic board game for 2–4 players, with games lasting around 30 minutes. Set in a world of floating islands, it challenges rival wizards to run great schools for young magical creatures and increase their fame.

Students arrive from five realms: red dragons, pink fairies, yellow gnomes, blue unicorns, and green frogs. Across the game, you carefully plan your moves while trying to influence your opponents’ choices and gain control of the islands.

On your turn, play a card, place three students, and advance Mother Nature a certain number of steps across the islands. The island where Mother Nature lands is then evaluated. Its controller can build one of their towers there, potentially taking control from an opponent.

Control can shift as the islands change. Adjacent islands controlled by the same player may merge with the evaluated island, creating important tactical opportunities and making each decision matter.

  • Play as one of the wizards competing to develop a great school.
  • Place students from five magical realms and influence island control.
  • Build towers and use island mergers to strengthen your position.
  • Choose from three game modes, including team play.

The game ends when only three islands remain, when the students run out, or when a player builds all of their towers. The winner is the player who has built the most towers at that point.

For additional variety, the expert version introduces the special characters and their distinctive skills. With strategic planning, tactical twists, shifting control, and multiple modes, Eriantys offers a different challenge each time it reaches the table.
