Castle Panic

Players cooperate to defend a central castle from waves of monsters emerging from the surrounding forest. On each turn they draw and play cards to attack or move monsters, trade resources, and repair or reinforce castle walls and towers. The game uses light tactical decision-making and shared strategy as the group balances collective survival with individual scoring; the group either holds the castle or loses together, while the player with the most victory points is named the Master Slayer.
