Fireside Games, Castle Panic

I got to play a game today called Castle Panic by Fireside Games.  It was their 1 year anniversary and they were celebrating with game demos, cake and a few giveaways.  In the game you try to defend the castle from various monsters (Goblins, Orcs, Ogres and Large Boulders). 

Castle Panic is cooperative strategy game for 1 to 6 players.  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.

• 49 Monster Tokens
