Overview

In Castell, players compete to build the most impressive and structurally sound human towers, known as Castells, in the heart of Catalonia. Each round, you'll expand your team of Castellers by recruiting new members with varying skill sets, carefully managing your resources to ensure you have the right people to attempt increasingly complex tower formations.

The game revolves around strategic worker placement, using your Castellers to gather resources, train new recruits, and ultimately, construct the different levels of your tower. Successful tower performances at local festivals earn you prestige and victory points, but a poorly constructed Castell can lead to disaster, costing you valuable resources and potentially injuring your team. Balancing risk and reward is key as you strive to create the tallest and most awe-inspiring Castell, earning you the title of Master Casteller.
