There is a new routine in my house. At night the kids and I brush our teeth, pile onto my bed, and play three rounds of Castle Keep. This is the only way I can keep my kids from relentlessly hounding me to play Castle Keep during the daytime hours.
Castle Keep is an excellent way for homeschoolers and parents to fun up any lesson on medieval knights and castles. Because each game lasts 20 minutes or less, it's also perfect to use as a between lessons activity.
The object of the game is to build your castle before your opponent builds his. You can also attack your opponent's castle by matching his tiles and removing his wall, tower, or keep from the play.
This game is addictive and the variations on the rules seem nearly endless. It is fast moving, easy to learn, and a challenge to play.
Highly recommended!
