Board Game Arena

Castle Combo is an abstract family game with an open draft.
 
The concept is that players take cards from the board into their tableau, forming a 3x3 at the end, as players take one card per round for 9 rounds (even if one or more are turned over).
Cards are paid for with money (some cost zero) and when added to the tableau they can provide money and/or keys, and more importantly, points at the end of the game depending on the conditions on the card. Players must take a card from the row where the pawn is located, but can pay keys to move the pawn to another row or discard all existing cards and replace them. Players can take a card at any time and place it face down on the board, earning 6 dollars and 2 keys.
Cards are open, combos are readable by everyone around the table, and it is a very pleasant game to chill.
 
Castle Combo is a fun game that offers a lot of options and variety in a fairly short time, as the game is quick- also quick to learn. You do not trust me? Click the link below to learn more about it, or simply try the tutorial provided to get a glimpse of it:

Let's thank CatchUp Games , Grégory Grard & Mathieu Roussel for their authorization to adapt this game to BGA, and let's celebrate another fine release from our developer, thoun!
 
That's it for your Wednesday Release Time.
We're happy to release some easier and simpler games, mostly because, you probably know, we try to keep the balance. So any lightweight game release could mean a heavier one is coming. Any guesses?
 
Lastly, note that you can also check the statistics about the Summer Calendar from this year in the related forum post. Thx to all for paticipating!

Thanks for your time, and as always: Take care and play fair!
See you next week.

Stupid, sexy, color matching Flanders

Hi DrClick, thanks for the statistics! It is always interesting to see.

Forgive me, but did you mean "one of the most-clicked"? Summer 2023 had 81,554 players click at least day 1, which seems much higher than 2024 with 53,000.

Also, why is the 10 day count lower than the 31 day count? In the past the 10 day count was higher.

My guess is Scythe.

Menudo juegazo. Me encanta!!!

Well-written synopsis. I'm going to try this game out tonight after work. My husband & I are looking for a casual & easy game to give our family members for Christmas. I love how BGA gives us a chance to enjoy the game mechanics without having to first sink a lot of money just buying it. Thanks!

Personally, I'm hoping for Pirates of Maracaibo. I've played Maracaibo here on BGA and really liked it. I just bought Pirates and would really love to be able to play digitally!
