RITTER VINCELOT

ANGRIFF AUF DIE BURG

Ritter Vincelot must attack the castle of Fürst Finster in order to free Princess Paula. Vincelot attacks the castle with a catapult and players are asked to help him.

The stable castle made of sturdy cardboard is package and game „board“ at the same time; you extract the components and set the castle on the table; the catapult is placed in front of the castle, and Fürst Finster is also standing around somewhere in front of the castle. Now the drawbridge of the castle is lowered and each player takes the playing pieces of one color, and the fun can start.

In your turn you have one shot per piece and try to hit parts of the castle that let you score points. Battlements on the high towers at the sides score one point per piece that lands on them, the middle part of the castle gives you two points for each hit with one of your pieces, and if you manage to hit the portal and thus place your piece inside the castle you score three points for such a hit. But if your piece lands on the drawbridge you lose a point. If your piece hits Fürst Finster you score one point; should you manage to topple Fürst Finster with a nicely aimed shot your score is three points for this hit. You win the game if you collected most points after three rounds; you managed to free Princess Paula.

Angriff auf die Burg is a simple dexterity game, which due to the sophisticated design and the lovingly designed components is of high stimulative nature and offers lots of replay value; the topic of the book has been nicely adapted, Aiming shooting and scoring is fun and trains motor skills, judging of distances and concentration.
