About the game
The Professor Evil and the Architects of Magic expansion brings new surprises to Professor Evil and the Citadel of Time. Lloyd Right and Morgane Cardini are two new members of your team, each with a new skills that may help you beat the Professor. You are free to combine Lloyd and Morgane’s talents with those of your favourite characters in any way you wish, and then once again do battle with the Professor! The Professor’s Possessions are new treasure tiles that represent one of the Professor’s most prized personal artefacts. Mix these new treasures with the others, and then look out for them when they appear around the Castle. If you can rescue a possession it will give the team a boost, but if the Professor stashes a possession before you get to it, you’ll start to hear the clock tick even faster. Beware! The Time Portals allow the Professor to make use of his own amazing time travel technology — to manipulate time within the Castle itself! When he moves around the Castle, the Professor will open time portals in each room he stops in. And if he ever revisits one, he will jump back in time and repeat his turn, making him an even-more forbidable opponent!
