Description

Stand Strong with Your Fellow Fighters Contend against Castle Bravehold’s strongest foes with your friends and family in Castle Panic. Use strategy to fight off monsters, trade precious cards to plan ahead, and rebuild damaged walls to keep your castle standing. This kid and adult strategy board game is easy to learn, about 45 minutes to play, and lets you accommodate skill levels from absolute beginners to intermediate strategy gamers. Master Each Game Mode Band together, compete for glory, gang up against one player, or go it alone with this cooperative family board game’s 4 unique game modes. Each game’s basic story is the same—players (or a single player) fight against orcs, goblins, and trolls in a do-or-die battle for Castle Bravehold. Different game modes to change how you play. Co-op: Work with your sisters- and brothers-in- arms to defend your towers. If at least one castle stands at the end of the onslaught, you all achieve victory. If monsters destroy all your towers, you fail. Master Slayer: You lose on the same conditions as you do in co-op, and just one winner takes home the crown (as well as some bragging rights) by single-handedly slaying the most monsters. Overlord: Choose one player to control the monsters. Whereas the other game modes’ monster attacks are random, this time the monsters know how you think. Be afraid. Solitaire: Stand alone against all the trolls, goblins, and orcs that threaten your castle. Whatever play style you choose, connect over Fireside Games while you do it.

  • Great co-op game
Edition: 2nd Edition
We love this co-op game. It is such a nice change from competitive games. If you have a child or children that have difficulty with competitive games, this game is a winner. It allows all players to partake in decisions and strategies. In essence, a great team building and strategy game. We have played the game nearly every night since opening, and have plans to get the expansion packs. The game in general is very good quality. Thick cardboard tokens/pieces that should last a long time under normal wear. The board, cards and tokens are printed clearly and the colors are aesthetically pleasing. I will say, I am worried about the thickness of the cards as they are thin (I wish they had the thickness of One Piece TCG cards). When first starting it will take longer than an hour for first play through- your still learning the mechanics and rules. Once you have mastered the rules and mechanics it is roughly a 60-90 minute game. The age range on the game states starting at age 8, but I feel if my child it would have been difficult to partake and understand the game. What is great about this game is that each play-through isn’t the same, and the outcomes can be completely different. For example, our last game, we had one tower standing with zero walls. The only saving grace was to pull a barbarian card (which was already in the discard pile). We had nothing in anyone’s hand to kill the orc that was one move away from entering the castle ring and destroying our lone tower. We had all come to terms with a defeat for this play-through. Lo and behold, our child draws a special card called Scavenger that allows the player to look through the discard pile for any card of his/her choice. In excitement, our child immediately finds the Barbarian and throws the final blow. Our lone tower still standing, and our child throwing the winning blow for a game we thought for sure was a loss - It was a very epic ending. ... show more

  • Great Co-op game
Edition: 2nd Edition
This is the most fun co-op game I've ever played. It requires a good degree of cooperation. It offers a lot of re-playability. The art is fun, and the instructions are easy to understand.

  • Great game for the family... fun, easy and quick!
Edition: 1st Edition
Absolutely love this game! Like some others have mentioned, I searched and did research on a lot of different games for our Family Game Night... trying to find the perfect blend of fun, easy rules, and short on time... we've played a lot of different games, some can get competitive with the kids, and a game like Castle Panic where we play cooperatively to defeat the monsters was just the right ticket! Its very quick and easy to understand the rules, games last about 30 minutes to an hour max. Each game can be very different, depending on how the monsters show up, and every game we've played there's always been that nail-biting time when we thought we were going to lose the castle.... it's a very well-balanced game on victory conditions, never too easy or two hard IMHO. One other aspect, the game might be "too simple" for people seeking a deeper or more complicated game, and that's where the expansions come-in... currently three expansions out (I own two of them) they can be played all-together or you can mix and match the expansions for just the experience you want. Each expansion adds a little (or a lot) more complexity to the game, with corresponding length of play added to the game (start adding expansions, and play-time definitely increases)... the beauty is you can always go back to the base game for a quick match, or add varying expansions for longer more in-depth play... this adds a lot of replay value (my personal opinion, Wizard's Tower adds the most rules and most playtime to the game, Dark Titan is a little quicker and a little lighter on game time added... if you add BOTH, you get a very long in-depth game... I don't have the siege engines expansion so can't comment on that). One of the things I really enjoy about this game is how great and easy it is to expand on the base game out of the box... between the (currently) three expansions and other after-market support from places like Etsy and third-party manufacturers, there's a lot you can do to spice up this game... I'm adding some pictures, the castle in the picture does NOT come with the game... I wanted a better castle and found one made for the game on Etsy, it was a very nice and inexpensive addition to perk the game up (just search for "Castle Panic" on Etsy and you'll find things there for the game!)... also I added Papo Mini Tub Figure, Knights - 12 Pieces to replace the Cavalier unit, Mini Flame Markers (10) and a Broken Token Box Organizer for Castle Panic, also shown in the pictures below. ... show more

  • Phenomenal game!
Edition: 2nd Edition
My son and I play this game all the time. I have even played this with some of my friends because the mechanics are so good. It’s a great balance of simplicity and strategy. My son enjoys this enough that he sometimes plays it by himself. I can’t recommend this enough!
