Castle Panic: Big Box (Second Edition)

Everything Fireside have made for this game, in one box, which is a great deal more monsters than you were expecting.

The base game plus all four expansions — The Wizard's Tower, The Dark Titan, Engines of War and Crowns and Quests — along with thirteen promo items, in second edition artwork. If you already know Castle Panic and have been eyeing the expansions one at a time, this is the version that stops you doing that.

Each expansion changes the shape of the problem rather than just adding cards: the Wizard's Tower brings spells and a sixth wall colour, the Dark Titan adds a boss who does not care about your careful ring management, Engines of War gives the monsters siege equipment. Stack them and it gets genuinely hard. Around an hour with the base set, considerably longer once you start combining.

Perfect for: the household that already owns Castle Panic and has quietly accepted it is going to own all of it eventually.

1–6 players | About 60 minutes | Age 8+ | Base game plus 4 expansions and 13 promos
