Renegade Game Studios announces it is publishing Castell

Sometimes a group of people can make a huge difference.  It’s also said that you should never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Castell is a board game being published by Renegade Game Studios, and the premise of the game seems to walk a fine line between the two.

Renegade Game Studios, a premier publisher of unique games,  is happy to announce the 2017 Cardboard 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 2017.

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.
