Tonight is was my son's turn to pick our challenge game and he chose Castle Panic.
Castle Panic is a light, cooperative game that is more suited to families than gamers. I rate it an 8 as a family game and tonight is our 10th recorded play on BGG.
Tonight there was only three of us in the challenge as Melissa opted not to play. So the kids and I sat down to fend off Trolls, Orcs, and Goblins. The early game went pretty well for us, as we were not having very much difficulty. Then we hit a stretch that was disturbing reminiscent to a game I wrote about in a session report: Drawing 12 monster tokens in one turn is not a good thing. . Although we didn't draw 12 monsters on one turn, we did get 8 on one turn followed by several more on the next turn.
Soon, we were down to only one tower with two monsters inside the castle. We had the barbarian card to kill one monster but needed the Drive Him Back card to avoid defeat. My son drew 5 cards . . . but didn't get the one we needed. We killed one monster then watch the other take out the final tower and end the game in a defeat.
Final: Monsters 1, Family 0
