Watch “It's a race through a Castle! A fun family game with hazards and fixes... and a little "take that.",” a how-to-play guide on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by NewVenture Games on YouTube:

Keys to the Castle is really a tile game, with an array of cards laid out randomly to serve as the game board. Each card represents a door in a crazy castle that could have been designed by Mad King Ludwig or Sarah Winchester. Each door is either clear to pass through or obstructed by bars or locks - and sometimes more locks! Not only must you find your way to the other side, but players can hinder their opponent's efforts as well. I found the game to be quite fun. Even though there is a high element of chance involved, there are choices to be made on every turn. If this Castle is not your thing, you can also get an Ice Castle version, and a Hogwart's version, and there's even an Archie Comics version: the Keys to Riverdale High School! You can get a copy of the game at Red Hen Toys: https://redhentoys.com/products/keys-to-the-castle-game?sca_ref=1428466.0DqN0SH7Jt Thanks for watching, and be sure to visit us elsewhere: https://newventuregames.com/ and https://www.facebook.com/NewVentureGames Learn more about the game at BGG: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/242742/keys-to-the-castle ____________ #boardgames #familygames #gamehistory #ancientgames #vintagegames #tabletop #newventure

About Keys to the Castle, from BoardGameGeek:

Keys to the Castle is a tile-based game of strategy and luck. Players must open and close doors (the tiles) to move along a path and be the first to cross to the other side. Special cards are played to hacksaw through barred doors, use a skeleton key to unlock padlocked doors, throw a net on a player to stop them in their tracks or use secret passageways to maneuver your way to the other side. The game is easy to learn and quick to play. With the tiles acting as the "board", there is a new outcome to each game every time the tiles and cards are shuffled.
