About Catacombs & Castles

Catacombs and Castles is a standalone game featuring a "Catacomb" team of heroes vs a "Castle" team of heroes. The game serves as an introduction to the Catacombs world and dexterity game system, so it features simplified, fast game play with some new mechanisms. As in Catacombs, players flick pieces around a board to simulate combat, with cards and special powers dictating how you can move and attack.
