Castle Combo
A strategic and fast-paced tableau-building card game that combines simple mechanics with deep, satisfying gameplay. Designed by Grégory Grard and Mathieu Roussel, it challenges players to outwit their opponents and build the most impressive castle by drafting a 3x3 grid of characters.
Throughout the game, players manage their coins to recruit characters from two open markets—the lower and upper city—while a wooden messenger pawn moves between the rows to dictate available choices. Because each character card features unique abilities and specific end-game scoring conditions, carefully arranging them into your final 3x3 tableau is the key to victory.
