Attack the walls, build siege weapons, explore the dungeons, and prepare your strategy on the fast-paced card game Castlecards. Destroy the enemy castles to win the game!

Each player starts with a castle card, protected by three wall cards. A castle can't be attacked until you destroy its walls (unless you get an assault card). The defense value of the castle and walls is represented by shields; to destroy a card, you need to attack with more swords than shields. You can attack with several cards, gathering soldiers, bowmen, siege weapons, etc. Your enemy can avoid your attack using academy cards (strategies to reduce the damage taken).

There are different decks on the game:

 The Town deck provides soldiers, bowmen, builders, explorers, gold and more. You will draw 1 Town card on each turn, and you will perform an action then (an action can be played with 1 or more cards at the same time).
 The Siege deck provides siege weapons with high attack power; you can get Siege cards using your builders and gold.
 The Academy deck provides tactics to avoid enemy attacks.
 The Dungeon deck will be open with explorers; beat a deck to get a treasure (additional town cards).

Castlecards: Asalto al Castillo es un juego de cartas de partidas rápidas donde la estrategia y la suerte se entremezclan para disputar batallas medievales. Podrás construir armas, explorar mazmorras, preparar tu defensa, atacar murallas y asaltar los castillos enemigos.

Es un juego muy fácil de aprender a jugar, de 2 a 4 jugadores en partidas de unos 10/15 minutos, a partir de 9 años.

Tu objetivo es asaltar los castillos rivales para preservar tu poblado, pero para conseguirlo tendrás que acabar antes con las murallas que los protegen.

Cada partida empieza con 1 castillo y 3 cartas de muralla para cada jugador. Se reparten 5 cartas de Poblado a cada uno y en cada turno podrás robar una carta de Poblado y realizar una acción.

Con estas cartas podrás realizar ataques, defenderte, construir armas, explorar mazmorras y otras acciones.

Las cartas de tu fortaleza, murallas y castillo, tienen un valor de defensa representado por una cantidad de escudos. Las cartas de ataque, como soldados, arqueros y armas, tienen un valor de ataque representado por espadas. Para atacar una carta puedes unir tantas unidades como desees y lanzar un ataque: si el número de espadas supera al de escudos, tu ataque vencerá.

Las unidades de ataque también tienen valores de defensa, y pueden apostarse en las murallas o el castillo para defenderlo. Además, podrás usar cartas de reacción para intentar repeler un ataque.

¡Utiliza tus cartas con habilidad para asaltar el castillo enemigo!
