Description

Build your castles, set up your troops, load your catapults and use your cunning tactics to win the day! The War for the Floor has begun once more!

Catapult Feud (original series was named, 'Catapult Kingdoms'), is a game of last person standing. Your objective is to knock down all your opponent's troops!

Starting with the youngest player, choose your family: Chaufort or Cunningfields. Then, use your bricks to build a castle to fortify your troops. Using your catapult, launch boulders in an attempt to destroy your opponent's castle and knock over their troops. When all troops of one family are knocked over, the battle is over. The winning family must have at least one troop standing upright.

The game is played in a series of rounds. During a round, starting with the youngest player, everyone takes a turn. Each player's turn is divided into four phases: Tactics, Aim, Fire and Cleanup. Perform these phases in order, finishing each one before moving to the next. When all players have had their turn, the round finishes. You keep on playing round after round until there is only one player with troops on the table.

Warning! This is a game of construction/destruction of plastic bricks and figures... NOT your opponent, pets, or people who may foolishly pass through the field of battle! Please play fair and be careful not to hurt each other or damage anything... other than your opponent's attempt at a impenetrable fortress!

In Mar 2022 - a special Ukrainian fundraising edition was added to several crowdfunding forums.

Quotes (from this video)
  • This is uh probably my favorite from the three new All Play games.
  • Kabuto Sumo Dice is basically Strike with the Kabuto Sumo theme.
  • it was quick, it was snappy, it was a fun game of just chucking dice and then trying to be the one who wins.
  • It's not going to win any awards for highest deepest strategy, but if you've played games like that like Strike, then you'll enjoy and appreciate the general chaotic and craziness of it.
  • Bunny Kingdom Town is a two-player version of Bunny Kingdom which my kids are currently obsessed with and so I am very happy to have this.
  • it doesn't feel like it's a Bunny Kingdom game. So, for better for worse, I don't know if it's going to feel like a Bunny Kingdom game.
  • Sometimes a two-player game can be really really good. Other times it's just a way of selling another version of a game you already own. That might be this, and um it worked.
