Description
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.

Quotes (from this video)
- So today i'm going to share with you the best viewer recommended family board games and a few of my thoughts as i piece together my top 10 for 2022.
- The first category is games that just aren't worth mentioning.
- The next category are games that i think are worth taking a look at but not necessarily games that i've bought yet.
- And then finally there's the category of games that as soon as i looked at them i knew for sure that i was going to buy them.
- The game is juicy fruits which is a very colorful and very fun looking game.
- It's basically bs you know where you're playing a card and you're saying I'm playing three queens and someone says you know that's bs and you flip it over and it's three queens and they were wrong.
- It plays a lot like the trading card game android netrunner.
- It kind of reminds me a little of zombie kids although you're not attacking any zombies.
- It kind of has a retro 80s video game feel to it.
- It seems to be based out of england i guess but the game is called astronauts.
- Boomerang is a lot like sushi go a card drafting game where players are passing the cards to each other.
- One key fixes that flaw.
- The game looks like it's independently published.
- It's really really fun objective for a dice rolling game.
- Santorini is an abstract strategic game that would be way too hard for my young kids to be able to compete with the older kids or adults in the family so I can't play Santorini with my children but this game I can play.
- Explorers is a game where all players are playing at the same time.
- Which of the ones that i've mentioned are your favorite family board game or i'll change the question is there something new that's recently come out that i don't know about yet?
