About this game
My First Castle Panic is a gentle, all-hands-visible introduction to teamwork and tower defense: monsters shuffle toward your castle, and on your turn you either play a matching card to capture one before it arrives or ask your teammates for help. Everyone can see everyone's hand, so there is no hidden information to trip up a young player, just color and shape matching and a shared goal. Special cards let you repair a damaged wall or banish a monster outright, and the whole thing wraps up in about twenty minutes, short enough to hold small attention spans. It is the simplified on-ramp to the full Castle Panic experience, built specifically for four-year-olds.
