These slot-together building cards are creative fun for all the family

Turrets, ramparts, portcullises, arrow-slit windows, walls, roofs, flags and more – create your own medieval masterpiece.

Each box contains 64 cards (105 x 69 mm) in a variety of graphic designs. Clever paper engineering allows you to slot the cards together, building up and out in whichever way you like! Also included is a short booklet, with information on the architecture of castles and suggestions of card building methods. The instructions tell you how to build a castle, or you can let your imagination run riot and design your own!

Renowned illustrator Paul Farrell has designed these cards in a cool, graphic style – turning the image of a castle into a work of art.
