Castle Combo is a quick and clever card game where you build a 3x3 tableau of characters from the castle and village.

Each player drafts cards from two open markets – one for the nobility and one for the commoners – and strategically places them in their own tableau. Characters provide both immediate effects and end-game scoring bonuses, making every choice meaningful. With keys, you can influence which market you recruit from, and gold is used to buy the best cards for your strategy.

The game is easy to learn but offers smart decisions at every turn, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced players. After nine rounds, the player who has collected the most points through their tableau wins.
