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 & fosters the development of educational skills such as identifying colors & shapes problem solving & 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 & a shape Players hold cards in their hands with cute defenders who also have a color & shape When a card is played that matches the location of the monster that monster is captured & thrown in the dungeon Tension builds as more monsters are placed & 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 Players 1-4 Playingtime 20 mins Ages 4
