“So yes I would recommend King of the Castle, but definitely with a few caveats that I think it's important to be aware of before you buy. I've played 3 games of this with different groups of people and I hope to play more in the future. King of the Castle is a fun party game…”

“Such a great game to play with friends. My group has a tradition where we each voice our characters and we have people volunteer to voice the NPC's and it's led to some hilarious game nights. I love that you don't have to own it just to play it so it makes for a really easy game…”

“Fun party game. Even more fun if you have people act out their roles. I recommend playing the game in person with a TV.”
