Description Edit | History

The forest is filled with all sorts of Monsters. They watched and waited as you built your Castle and trained your soldiers, but now they’ve gathered their army and are marching out of the woods.

Can you work with your friends to defend your Castle against the horde, or will the Monsters tear down your Walls and destroy the precious Castle Towers? You will all win or lose together, but in the end only one player will be declared the Master Slayer!

Castle Panic is a cooperative, light strategy game for 1 to 6 players ages 10 and up.

Players must work together to defend their castle, in the center of the board, from monsters that attack out of the forest, at the edges of the board. Players trade cards, hit and slay monsters, and plan strategies together to keep their castle towers intact. The players either win or lose together, but only the player with the most victory points is declared the Master Slayer. Players must balance the survival of the group with their own desire to win.

The game includes:
1 Gameboard
1 Rulebook
49 Castle Cards
49 Monster Tokens ( see Token set )
6 Walls
6 Towers
1 Tar Token
2 Fortify Tokens
6 Order of Play Cards
12 Plastic Stands
1 Die

1 Score track
A score track to help count the points on real time (and for you make jokes of your friends). But, take care, they can sabotage the game and the monsters will not miss this chance to destroy the castle.

8 New Castle Panic Token Set 3
This is Castle Panic Token Set 3. Instead of monsters there are expanded abilities and perks for the monsters. For the defender there are a set of tokens that they can buy. Instead of making cards up I think it's easier to create tokens and purchase the token. It's harder to print up and mix cards seamlessly into a "real" deck. Minor changes to file and rule clarifications.

12 New Castle Panic Monster Token Set 2
This is an additional set of monsters (Rock Head, Worg with Goblin Rider, Leaping Spider, Undead) and increased HP tokens for the Ettin, Giant and Dragons from Set 1. I hope you enjoy using these monsters! Cheers! Fixed errors from the previous file. Corrected the number of Ettin tokens.
