Never played but it sounds fun! Anything like cops and robbers? Is there a board game geek link?

I have the modern version, but it plays the same.

I also have the newer version. I think there was some rule tweeks.

I have bits and pieces of the old version I had as a kid. Good times, good times.

Had never heard of it. Had to look at bg geek. I am pleased to let you know that when this game came out I had already been a nominal adult for 11 years and retired as a game publisher for 5 years! :)

I've seen it but never played it before. If it is anything like the computer game Stronghold, I will probably enjoy it very much.

It's more of a dexterity game. The ultimate object is to knock down the opponent's castle. You have cool rubberband powered weapons to fling disks at their castle. I think the newer version has slightly different rules--it mentions knocking over ALL your opponents troops...
