Castle Panic

Castle Panic is a cooperative game where players work together to defend their castle from waves of monsters. I find this game to be a great choice for family game nights, especially with younger children. The rules are simple enough for kids to grasp, and the gameplay is exciting and engaging. You have to work together to defeat the monsters, and it can get really tense as they get closer and closer to your castle. There's a real sense of accomplishment when you manage to defeat all the monsters before they destroy your towers.

While the game is light and fun, I've found that it can get a bit easy after a few plays. Thankfully, there are expansions available that add more complexity and challenge to the game. I've also heard great things about the solo mode, which lets you play as the monsters. It's a great option if you're looking for a quick and fun game to play on your own.

Overall, I would highly recommend Castle Panic to anyone looking for a fun and engaging cooperative game for families or groups of friends. Just be prepared for some intense moments as you try to hold off those monster hordes!
