Wildlands: Map Pack 1 – The Warlock’s Tower & The Crystal Canyons adds a new double-sided game board to the Wildlands base game that features new opportunities and obstacles; this board can be used in conjunction with any faction expansions. Here’s an overview of each side:
• The Crystal Canyons: Most of the rumors about the Crystal Canyons agree that when the Darkness broke, the crystals still in the earth either corrupted or became inert. That hasn’t stopped survivors seeking out the place where the first arcane crystals were found, delving into the mines that once fueled the empire. This board makes full use of the rules for high and low ground. The majority of spaces are high ground, looking down at the low ground of the canyon below. Using this terrain to your advantage will be key if you hope to claim victory.
• The Warlock’s Tower: Few know the truth of the great warlock and the powerful spells he once wove. They say that the tower sank below the waves when he died long ago. Now it has risen once more — what could that mean?
When playing on this board, players need to be aware of the trickery that the warlock’s magic allows. Dotted around the map are four portal spaces, each counting as adjacent to each other for the purposes of movement and area attacks. Stranger yet is the Tower, a single space at the center of the board that seems to be the epicenter of the powerful magic of the area. While no character can start the game here, it contains one of the four portal spaces on the map and gives characters here line of sight to every other space on the board, making it a tempting space for a ranged character to take position, but one that will certainly leave them vulnerable to attack.

Played just the Canyons map. Very nice twist where no players want to fall to the holes, because there is not way back there alive.

The Warlock's Tower is excellent - the portals and tower add to the tactical considerations - a sniper in the tower can be very effective, while area attack characters can be very useful if placed at a portal. The Crystal Canyons are a good contrast, with relatively large depression areas and some blocked lines of sight. Played July 2021. Acquired June 2019.

Yeah, now this is great! A double sided board with 2 maps. The canyon map is the one I liked less. It has mostly high ground. So, if you get stuck in the canyon spaces, you will have to use extra cards to climb out. Also, the spaces are spread out more (with areas with no spaces blocking areas), so more move cards must be used. This was fun, but it makes the game longer. Combat was used much more in this game. The other side is the Wizard's Tower. This was fabulous. An outdoor map that has 5 Portal spaces. These are all over the board but they are considered adjacent for movement and attacking. You can do some very sneaky things with this. The middle space is the Tower itself. It isn't numbered, but if you get a character on thee, it is considered adjacent to every space on the board! I got Tak for the Circus team (my favorites) onto this spot and I was just blasting everyone I could. This is a keeper. I wasn't interested in getting anything more for Wildlands, but with how much I liked this, I think I might get the 2nd map pack. Excellent!
