Fireside Games Castle Panic: Big Box

Me encanta este juego, muy divertido, es en general sencillo y de muy buena calidad de componentes. Todas las expansiones en un solo lugar, buena capacidad de la caja 0ara guardar todo inclusive aunque haya enfundado las cartas! Eso me parecio destacado.

I previously owned the original Castle Panic game and purchased the big box to have the expansions. Castle Panic is a quick co-operative game where you need to defend your castle from monsters attempting to siege. You have a hand of cards in which you use to damage the attackers before they can breach walls. The game concept is fun and extremely kid friendly, but not losing any ground for adults. I love playing this game a parties due to number of players at one time. The second edition has far better art than the original. Highly recommend getting the 2nd edition. A single round can take about 40 minutes to play through on average but generally depends on skill level playing through a board game, and your desire to search for the best move(s) available to you. It is co-operative play so adults can support kids trying to learn how to play board games.

A friend (indirectly) introduced me to Castle Panic a couple years ago. I knew pretty much right away that I needed to own that game, and I DON'T OWN ANY OTHER GAMES. It's definitely the kind of game where you have to have the manual handy because the rules are kind of complicated, but it's so fun. One of my favorite games I've ever played, and one that finally inspired me to actually want to own it myself.I really haven't delved into the expansions yet, so I don't know whether those are worth the extra money.

El gameplay es buenisimo divertido si te gustan los tower defense solo la calidad es 3.5 de 5 pero en general vale lo que cuesta por el simple hecho de que el juego en si es diveryido y retador

Got this as a Christmas present. It was too difficult to pass up this bundle with updated sets versus buying them separately. Everything fits well in this box (including sleeved cards) so no need to buy additional case.Haven’t gotten around to playing all the expansions so I’ll just rate the base game. As a side note, the base game has been around for years! It is a great game to jump into without much preparation. We also own gloomhaven and the worst thing about that game is the amount of time that it takes to set up every time you want to play. This game can easily be taken to a group and quickly set up for a quick game night.We have a young daughter that is not able to read yet and have had a lot of success involving her in this game. She even gets to practice basic math trying to figure out how many cards to draw! The fact that it’s co-op means we can explain any rules that require reading without negatively impacting gameplay. My only recommendation is to slightly reduce the number of tiles since the game can run a little long for a small child. Also, we like to say that the monsters are “Going to jail” every time their HP goes down (matching ‘my first castle panic’).My only con with this game is the simplicity of the base game. Once you have established your standard protocol of how to react to certain situations the game can almost run autonomously. This is good for kids, but not for serious gamers. However, the expansions included increase complexity, so I wouldn’t consider that a deterrent if you’re getting the big box.Overall great game for families and casual play, especially for those that want to start the transition from mainstream to more Indy games.
