Towers in Time is an out-of-print collectible card game by Thunder Castle Games that was released in April 1995.[1] The base set had 150 cards with 56-card starter decks and 8-card booster packs.[1] In 1996, the game was repackaged as a dedicated deck card game to be sold in a box set of 150 cards.[2] Thunder Castle Games announced at least four expansions for the game but none of them ever materialized: Greek, Zodiac, Amazon, and Norse.[3]

The game was chastised for having starter decks that contained no rules, and instead players would have to call a non-toll-free number to obtain the rules.[3] The rules were eventually printed in Scrye magazine issue #3.[3] An "icon explanation" card, however, was included in the starter decks, but did not explain all the icons found on the cards.[3]
Gameplay depicted the two players as wizards battling between dimensions. Players won by destroying his opponent's Five Shields with creatures, with each shield capable of taking 4 points of damage. There were 6 schools of color: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, White, and Black.[3]
