In My First Castle Panic, a group of monsters is racing out of the woods and coming right at your Castle! Players need to catch all the monsters before they smash the Castle flat. Send out your brave defenders to match the color and shape of the space where a monster is to catch it. But watch out! The monsters move closer to the Castle every turn, and more monsters keep coming!

  • No reading required.
  • Teaches matching, strategic thinking, taking turns, and more.
  • Cooperative gameplay means no sore losers.

Based on the best-selling cooperative hit Castle Panic, My First Castle Panic now brings the same exciting, edge-of-your-seat, team-based experience to even younger players. Streamlined gameplay teaches strategic thinking, as players work to match colors and shapes, all while planning ahead, taking turns, and cooperating.

Each player's turn consists of these 4 steps in this order:

1. Draw 1 card 2. Play 1 card from your hand OR Ask for help from 1 other player 3. Move the monsters 4. Draw 1 monster token

The players win if they catch all the monsters and the castle is still standing. If the castle gets knocked flat, the players lose.

Includes:

  • 1 Game Board
  • 1 Castle Piece
  • 1 Wall Piece
  • 26 Castle Cards
  • 16 Monster Tokens
  • 4 How-to-Play Cards
  • 1 Rulesheet

Ava A. ★★★★★

We've played this nearly every night since it arrived. The cooperative part is what sold me — everyone works together to catch the monsters before they reach the castle, so there's no crying about losing. Turns are quick enough that my 4-year-old stays interested the whole game.

Ellie ★★★★★

My 5-year-old actually beat this on her own the first time, which never happens with games at her age. The monsters-racing-out-of-the-woods setup keeps the tension real without being scary, and the castle pieces have held up through a lot of grabbing.

Scarlett P. ★★★★★

The co-op format is a lifesaver for my 4-year-old, who hates losing but loves shouting which monster to smash next. We've had it out on the table three days straight, and the cardboard castle has survived every round so far.
