Castle Under Siege

In the kingdom of Stonewatch, a playful competition has emerged among the castle's mischief-makers. Rival pranksters are testing their wits by seeing who can push the castle’s magical roof to its limit without causing a collapse. Each prankster adds either a water droplet or a spark of flame to the barrier, hoping to be the last one standing when the roof finally gives in.
 

In this fully printable game, all you need to bring are the tissues to serve as the magical bearer for each round. This is a lighthearted game that is easy to play with family and friends similar to the popular Thin Ice game with similar game mechanics.

How It Works:

• Role of the Players: Players take on the role of playful tricksters engaging in a friendly rivalry. Rather than waging a fierce battle, they are mischievous competitors, each trying to outwit the others in a light-hearted contest to see who can push the castle’s magical defenses to their breaking point without causing a collapse.
• Strategy and Survival: The goal is to survive the longest without being the one who causes the magical barrier to collapse. Players must carefully place their pieces to ensure the defenses hold while also putting pressure on the next player.
• Losing Condition: The player who places a piece that causes the roof to collapse is deemed the one who pushed the magic too far, breaking the last defenses and losing the game.
• Winning Condition: The last player who successfully places their piece without causing the roof to collapse is crowned the master strategist, having outlasted all their opponents.

Gameplay:

1. Each player receives a set of wooden tongs - these magical tools are essential for carefully placing pieces during the game.
2. Starting with the youngest player and proceeding clockwise:
   1. Roll the dice to determine how many pieces you must place
   2. For water droplets (blue): Use your tongs to dip the piece in the castle's well before placement.
   3. For fire droplets (red): Use your tongs to place the piece directly on the magical barrier
3. Speed is crucial - you must pass the dice to the next player immediately after completing your placement. Holding the dice when the barrier falls means instant defeat!
4. The magical barrier becomes increasingly unstable with each piece added. When it finally collapses, the player responsible for the fall (or holding the dice) loses the round.

Assembly:

It's incredibly simple to assemble your new castle game! Once all of the parts are printed, you can slide the wooden tower pieces into the provided holes in the castle base. Just slip a tissue or paper towel between the top of the castle tower and place the ring at the top.

🎉Pro tips: For a more polished look, trace the outside of the top ring onto your tissue and cut it out before play. This creates a cleaner appearance by hiding excess tissue during gameplay!

⚠️ Warning: Contains small pieces and may not be suitable for small children.
