In the Castle Board Game narrative, the King of White and King of Black have grown too old to fight. Yet, their years of backstabbing and bitterness have lead to yet another war. Since the Kings can no longer fight, they have fortified themselves inside their Castles to defend themselves. In Castle Board Game, the kings do not move from their positions in the center of the back row of the board. Each king directs his armies to achieve victory by capturing the opposing king. In order to counterbalance the huge disadvantage of an immobile King, walls have been erected to provide defensive advantages for each Castle. Additionally, a new character, HouseCarl, has been added to protect the fixed position of the King. As you embark on this new journey, beware of spies that can sneak through Castle walls unnoticed. Prepare yourselves for the dynamic adventure in strategy that is Castle Board Game. —description from the designer
