This exciting edition of Castle Panic includes the base game, as well as all four expansion packs! Makes a perfect gift for those who enjoy cooperative games! The included expansion titles are as follows: Castle Panic Base Game, Engines of War Expansion, The Dark Titan, Crowns and Quests, and The Wizard’s Tower. This game bundle is a great value!
Goblins, orcs, and trolls are attacking the castle, and it’s up to you and your fellow generals to defend it! In the center of the board is a castle with six towers, bordered by six walls. Each wall faces a different 60-degree arc of the board, numbered 1-6 and colored either red, green, or blue. Surrounding the castle are four rings that determine distance from the castle, from closest to furthest: Swordsmen range, Knights range, Archer range, and Forest (which holds monsters and other baddies) range. Each player is dealt 4-6 cards (depending on the number of players). Each turn, players can discard, trade, and play cards. These cards allow players to draw additional cards, rebuild walls, or attack the monsters advancing on the castle. For example, if a goblin was in the green Archer range, a player could use a green archer card to attack it. At the end of each players turn, two things happen: all monsters advance towards the castle, destroying walls or towers if they are close enough, and two extra monster tiles are drawn and placed on the board. And when a special tile is drawn, like the Goblin King, a boulder, or the dreaded draw 4 more monster tiles, it’s time to panic! The goal is to make it through the entire deck of monsters without losing all of the castle towers.
Once you feel confident enough to fend off the hordes of enemies, you can try upping the difficulty with variants, including one that lets a single player become the dungeon overlord and control the monsters. A good amount of strategy and a whole lot of cooperation is key to ensuring your castles survival! The game is quite difficult at times (hence the name!), but can be enjoyed by nearly anyone 8 and up. A perfect game for family or friends. For 1-6 players with a playtime of 60 minutes. ~Brianna
