In Assault on the Castle, players are fierce medieval Lords who want to destroy opponents’ castles by using fearsome siege machines. At the beginning of the game, players, by using cards, physically build their own castles upon a special basement mat. With regards to the building phase, there actually are no limits, as long as the castles can stand properly.
Draw siege cards and activate your siege engines, aka your bare hand! Throw siege cards against opponents’ castle to make them fall under your attacks!
The last standing castle wins the game!

Why You’ll Love It:

• Build it, break it — the rare game where you construct your masterpiece and then watch it survive (or not) a hail of flying cards.
• Pure table mayhem — throwing cards at castles is exactly as fun as it sounds, for kids, families, and anyone with a score to settle.
• Quick and endlessly replayable — 15-30 minute matches where no two castles (and no two sieges) are ever the same.

Mechanisms:

Assault on the Castle is a dexterity game in two acts: first you build, then you destroy. Construction is free-form, stack your castle cards however you like on your base mat. During the siege, drawn cards activate siege machines that let you physically throw cards at enemy castles.
Simple rules, real physics, and total mayhem: the last castle standing wins.
