Keys to the Castle

Players race through a shifting castle made from door tiles, trying to be the first to cross from one side to the other. During a turn, players open and close door tiles to create paths, move along the resulting route, and play special cards to alter movement. Special cards let players bypass barriers, disable locked doors, trap opponents with nets, or sneak through secret passages, adding tactical choices and direct interaction. The modular tile layout and card draws create a different board and flow each game, and gameplay combines route planning with opportunistic plays.
