The Developer Says...

Deep and rewarding but still easy for new players to pick up, this fun and wacky CCG features a tactical combat board! Placing and positioning units in strategic locations adds complexity to your game-plan. Take defensive positions to protect your castle, engage in a reckless all-out assault, or complete unique map objectives to get a leg up on your opponent. Build unique decks from 7 different iconic factions: Vikings, Crusaders, Warlocks, Pirates, Ninjas, Druids, and Undead. Combine up to two factions at once for unique gameplay strategies!

Cards and Castles ULTIMATE is the third game in the Cards and Castles series, and offers many new gameplay options.
