Keys to the Castle Tile Game

Quite a Castle!

Why were the middle ages so often referred to as the dark ages? Well, because there were so many knights, of course! The problem is figuring how to navigate around the castle so you can become the King and Queen's chosen Knight Captain. That naturally means that even the noblest of knights sometimes has to take some questionable actions. But, we're sure that you will find the path that is best! 

Fun Details

Test your skills at taming the castle when you play Keys to the Castle. This game can be played in 10-20 minutes with 2-6 players. Arrange up to 54 locked door tiles in grids. 4 player games are best with a grid of 5x8, but longer games with fewer players can have longer rows or you can play with up to 6 knights in shorter castle passages. Tiles have a variety of colored doors that each requires a key to open. Flip it over to discover if it is barred with iron, free to pass, or even gives a special bonus. Each round, players will draw a card, play a card, and then move if they would like to. Play a hacksaw to get rid of a troublesome obstacle or a skeleton key to open any door... even one locked with a padlock card. See a knight beating you? Well, toss a net on them and keep them struggling for a couple extra turns. Think your route is looking grim? Well, find a secret passage and hop to a different path. The winner is the first to the opposite side of the castle keep! 

Choose Your Route

Whether it is two knights racing to victory or a whole table full of noble warriors, only the one who can find the fastest path will earn the honor of the fair Queen! Keys to the Castle serves as a great strategy game for adults and kids alike.
