A three-dimensional children games around the theme of kings, knights and sieges upon castles. The point of the game is to build the most (and longest) finished castles by the end of the game. Castle tokens are won from successful sieges of different castles throughout the game, as the king travels across the country evaluating the knights' skills. Whoever wins shall be king!

The game includes a large board with four cardboard castles (square spaces closed off with walls) with turrets, upon which ladders with differing numbers of knights are hung. The king moves on a track in the middle of the board. Different spaces on the track may indicate different castles upon which sieges will be scored. In order to score for a siege, a player must have the appropriate amount of knight tokens on the spaces under the castle walls, as well as ladders with knights. To place a ladder or token (or draw an 'intrigue' card), dice are rolled by the leading player in that turn, and each player takes off a die and resolves the appropriate action.

One of the two large spatial board games by Trefl, along with Pirates Of The Isles. They are targeted at children (over the age of eight) specifically. Both come in very large boxes, but at a comparatively low price, and therefor make a very good gift, especially since the 3d elements serve as bait even for kids that don't typically play board games. The game has strategic elements, requiring decisions on which castle to pursuit at what time, how many soldiers to invest in it, what action to take in the Climb part of the game, and, finally, how to build one's own castle with tokens won. The number of rounds is limited but the game may drag on (to the point of children losing interest), especially with bad die throws. Still, it's a surprisingly fun game, and even an adult won't be too bored while playing with a child (although they might want to handicap themselves by taking fewer ladders).
