Shadowgate: The Living Castle - Gen Con Preview 2022

Watch “Shadowgate: The Living Castle - Gen Con Preview 2022,” a board game interview for Shadowgate: The Living Castle on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by David Niecikowski, PhD on YouTube:

Shadowgate, The Living Castle is a 2-4 Player semi-cooperative board game where the Players can choose between 8 different characters that have their own unique class, traits, and abilities and compete to gain XP points by completing Quests. This is done by equipping Item Cards and rolling dice to boost your stats so that you can meet the cost of the Quest. For each Quest you complete, each monster you defeat, for each Djinn Riddle you answer, and each Item you equip, you'll gain XP Points! Once the Players uncover and rebuild the legendary Staff of Ages, they will take on the Warlock Lord and the Behemoth by bidding against one of the Final Quest cards, which will reward varying XP points and the Player with the most XP Points at the end wins the game and is crowned High Lord of Westland! Shadowgate, the Living Castle is based on the Macventure, Kemco NES and 2014 remake video game, Shadowgate. #shadowgate #thelivingcastle #317games #cooperativegame #trickortreatstudios #gencon2022 #julieniecikowski trick or treat studios shadow gate shadowgate the living castle cooperative board game gencon gen con 2022

About Shadowgate: The Living Castle, from BoardGameGeek:

"Five to find, three are one. One gives access, the Bladed Sun. The Silver Orb, to banish below. The Staff of Ages, to vanquish the foe. Joining two, the Golden Thorn. The last to invoke, the Platinum Horn." You have heard this prophecy many times – one regarding the chosen hero that will save the Westland from a great and rising darkness. Those days are now before you, for Talimar the Starless – the Warlock Lord – is once again moving in this world. He has descended far below Castle Shadowgate, ready to release a creature of immense power upon the world and bring it into chaos! Shadowgate: The Living Castle is a 2-4 player board game based on the Macventure, Kemco NES and 2014 remake video game, Shadowgate. In it you'll explore Shadowgate, the Living Castle, discovering relics and spells and completing legendary quests. Players can choose between eight characters that have their own unique class, traits, and abilities, then use these characters to compete for XP (experience points). For each item you equip, each quest you complete, each djinn riddle you answer, and each monster you defeat, you gain XP. Compete against other players to piece together the fabled Staff of Ages – It is only then will you be able to confront the Warlock Lord, fulfill the prophecy, and be crowned High Lord of the Westland!
