A Game for 2 Players — 30 minutes — Ages 10+

In the game of CASTLES, two players compete across the gaming table to build a Kingdom of cards.

As each player takes a turn drawing from the deck, you'll seek to gather the support of DukesCounts and Barons, and attract Champions and Wizards to your Court. As you rise in power, your Nobles acquire Lands and Serfs, you'll add a Wife and Heir to your throne, and move slowly toward becoming the most powerful Kingdom in the land. But wait... your opponent works to undo all you've built, and you face opposition from his Minions and Magick spells, and are forced to Wage War with your Generals and Arms to seal your legacy in stone.

In the end, only one CASTLE can prevail!

Fast paced and fun, the game is quick to learn but challenging to play. While a session can be over in as little as 30 minutes, aggressive play and thoughtful strategy will keep you on the edge of your seat in game after game!

Inside the box you'll find a 6-panel, full-color rule book, a red vacuum-formed tray, and a deck of 168 high-quality full-color mini-cards. The mini-cards are 1.75 x 2.5 inches in size. (See all of the cards here.)

CASTLES is a deceptively simple game that quickly evolves into a stimulating strategy contest with many different angles and upsets. While there is a good bit of luck in this game, a crafty player can reach victory through pure strategy, no matter HOW bad your run of cards may appear. You're always on the edge of your seat looking for ways to turn a little luck into the opportunity you need to win. You can get a look at CASTLES in action by watching the following video, but you should DOWNLOAD THE RULES HERE first to understand the ins and outs. The video will make more sense if you follow along with the rules. Visit the AAIIEEE.com website for more details about the game!



Interested in getting a playmat to use with your CASTLES game? Contact Break From Reality Games to see about ordering a high quality 15 x 15 inch CASTLES GripMat. Their website is http://www.bfrgames.com. If you'd like to make your own playmat, I've created a PDF that you can download here.  

CASTLES is the first release from AAIIEEE! Games, and has been printed and is ready to ship. You may buy the game for a slight discount through this IndieGoGo campaign, or you may order directly through my website right now at http://www.aaiieee.com. It will cost you a few bucks more, but you'll have instant gratification. 

Now about me… I'm Dan Zimmer, the founder of AAIIEEE! Games, and the publisher of Illustration magazine, a publication devoted to the Golden Age of American illustration art. I'm bringing CASTLES to IndieGoGo with the hopes of introducing more gamers to my new company and concepts. I'm a company of one person, so I need all the help I can get! 

My goal with AAIIEEE! is to create entertaining, innovative, and challenging games—and CASTLES is just the beginning.  If I'm fortunate enough to receive additional funding, your generosity will help offset more of my costs and enable me to advertise and distribute CASTLES to a much wider audience.

Thank you so much for your support!
