Renegade Game Studios Announce ‘Castell’ for March 2018

I have to say the theme of the recently announced Castell sounds mighty unique. In the new Renegade Game Studios title, two to four players lead competing teams of festival goers taking part in traditional Catalonian contests of human tower building. Can you defeat your rivals following a year long challenge? There’s only one way to find out. The game is for ages 14+, plays in about sixty to ninety minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $60.00.

From Renegade:

Renegade Game Studios, a premier publisher of unique games, is happy to announce the 2017 Cardbaord Edison winner, Castell. This original title by designer Aaron Vanderbeek celebrates the vibrant Catalonian tradition of building human towers. The expected release for this award-winning game is March 2018. 

Castell is the vibrant Catalonian tradition of building human towers. Huge teams of people from all over Catalonia gather at festivals to celebrate Catalonian culture and compete to build the highest and most difficult human towers.

Castell is a strategy game where players guide Castell teams through a year of festivals. Visit Catalonian cities, expand your team of Castellers, learn tower-building skills, and show off your tower-building prowess at local performances and festival competitions.

Harness your strength, balance, courage, and common sense to take your team to victory!

“We love introducing our fans to intriguing and unique themes,” explains Scott Gaeta, President of Renegade Game Studios. “Aaron Vanderbeek has put an incredible amount of time into studying this sport and it will be fun to share that enthusiasm with our fans through his game.”

Castell is slated for release in Q1 2018 with captivating art from Ossi Hiekkala. This game is elegantly designed for 2-4 players, ages 14+ to play in about 60-90 min.
