Katapult (2012)

About this game

Katapult is a game of skill and strategy where players have to bounce their balls accurately in the rooms of the castle to control the largest possible number and respond to attacks of their opponents. Integrate kings your game to increase the difficulty of the game. On each of your turn, you bounce a ball on your "trampoline" to send it in one of the 16 "rooms" in the castle. You win points by controlling (majority of balls) those rooms in certain combination (3 or 4 in a row, or the 4 center rooms) at the end of the round (when everyone has no more balls to throw). The game ends after a couple of rounds totalling the points from each round and highest score wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
