{"product_id":"castle-combo","title":"Castle Combo","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCastle Combo\u003c\/strong\u003e is a fast-paced card-drafting game where you build a medieval castle one card at a time. Designed by Grégory Grard and published in 2024 by Catch Up Games, it plays in 10 to 25 minutes with 2 to 5 players aged 10 and up. Every card serves multiple purposes: you can place it in your castle tableau, tag it for end-game scoring bonuses, or use it to trigger combos with cards you've already played.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core mechanic is open drafting. Each round, you select cards from a shared pool, layering them to create a castle structure while collecting sets of symbols and icons. Multi-use cards create meaningful choices on every turn—do you add height to your castle, or bank a card for a powerful end-game bonus? Tile placement and set collection intertwine as you aim to complete patterns and maximise scoring combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a complexity weight of 1.74 and a BGG rating of 7.7, Castle Combo strikes a balance between accessible rules and tactical depth. Stéphane Escapa's vibrant artwork brings the medieval theme to life without overwhelming the gameplay. The result is a quick, strategic experience that rewards planning and adaptability in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catch Up Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58405409685888,"sku":"5065014806357","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/9505\/7536\/files\/pic8250341.png?v=1783466239","url":"https:\/\/mpgames.io\/products\/castle-combo","provider":"MPGames","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
