Each card also sports one or more shapes (square, triangle, circle) in one or more colors (red, green, blue). The adjustment from trading cards to asking for help greatly simplifies the strategy over the original Castle Panic, and It allows other players to simply step in when needed. If the castle is destroyed, the players lose; if it still stands when all the monsters are in the dungeon, the players win. My First Castle Panic teaches young gamers three shapes, three colors, how to match, how to ask for help, and how to take turns.

And lastly, one might push all the monsters forward an additional space and require yet another monster drawn! If you stop all 16 of them (sending them back to the game box, which is cleverly designed as a dungeon to house the defeated goblins), you win. We are all in this world together to help each other and learn from what others have learned from their lives journey. These allow you to rebuild the wall or boot a single monster from the board back into the monster stack. Component-wise, all the tokens, castle, wall, and board are made from a nice thick chipboard which will hold up to a lot of playing.I can’t help but remark on the fact that the goblins in My First Castle Panic are definitely teaching our daughter some useful skills. We do not believe in updates for the sake of updates - and we will never share your details with a 3rd party.

We like to put the bottom of the box behind the castle because it is the dungeon where defeated monsters go.

On a player’s turn, they first must draw a card and then can either play a card from their own hand or ask another player to help by playing one of their cards. Others can jump to the front of the line, quickly causing some panic as they might be unexpectedly near your castle wall. Roll a dice, move the number of squares and move onto the next player etc etc this one has a bit more to it.In that way it turns out that My First Castle Panic is teaching our daughter a lot more than taking turns and cooperation - it’s helping her work on her shapes and colors as well.

The main concept of My First Castle Panic is still the same as the original - don’t let the goblins destroy your castle.You play the game with your cards face-up, so kids can see everyone’s hand (and you can give them a little help if needed). We recently discovered after going to the library there are a lot of fun kids' games we can check out. It was my first time playing a board game completely solo and I thought it was absolutely phenomenal. Once an adult shows them how it works, it’d be pretty easy for most older kids to play the game themselves without too much supervision. And, instead of coming from multiple paths all around your castle, these goblins are all coming down the same path.
