Chaostle (2011)

About this game

Chaostle (kâ'os'l) is a combination of the words Chaos and Castle. Chaostle is a three-dimensional castle fantasy board game. Each player selects their starting armies that they will use to battle against their enemies in an attempt to conquer the castle for their King or Queen. The armies consist of many different fantasy fighters with unique skills and weaknesses such as wizards, dragons, unicorns, knights, archers, etc. The fighters are custom collectible plastic miniatures. The game has many levels of strategy that can be offset by a wide range of fates (both good and bad).

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
