The Enchanted Tower

Players attempt to free a princess imprisoned in a tower while one player secretly hides a key under one of 16 board spaces. The non-sorcerer players cooperate as a hero who searches locations to find the hidden key; the sorcerer moves on a separate track trying to reach the tower before the hero does. When a player recovers the key they may try it in one of six locks on the tower; a correct guess releases the princess and ends the round, while a wrong guess returns the key to a hidden location and resets positions. Movement is driven by dice that determine which characters move and how far, producing a push-and-pull race between search and interception.
