My First Castle Panic
My First Castle Panic; like its predecessor Castle Panic; is a co-operative game in which players work together to defend their castle; but this game removes the reading requirement of the earlier one and fosters the development of educational skills; such as identifying colors and shapes; problem solving; and turn taking.
In the game; monsters follow a single path toward a single; large; eye-catching castle; which is protected by one wall. Each step toward the castle is identified by a color and a shape. Players hold cards in their hands with cute defenders who also have a color and shape. When a card is played that matches the location of the monster; that monster is captured and thrown in the dungeon. Tension builds as more monsters are placed and move along the path toward the castle. If the castle is destroyed; the players lose; if it still stands when all the monsters are in the dungeon; the players win.
