About this game

Crossbows and Catapults turns your living room floor into a battlefield between two rival castles built from stacked plastic bricks. You load rubber-band powered crossbows and catapults with plastic discs, take aim across the room, and fire away at your opponent's warriors and tower while defending your own. Every shot has weight and a genuinely satisfying thwack, and a lucky carom can topple a wall you spent ten minutes stacking. It is loud, physical and completely unsubtle, the kind of tabletop battle that turns siblings and friends into gleeful rivals for half an hour straight.
