We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on October 28, 2011.

Deploy your troops, claim valuable Armory cards, and break into your rivals' castles to plunder their treasure!

WE ARE FUNDED!  We are now reaching for a stretch goal of $5000.  At $4000, each backed copy will come with a CUSTOM pair of Castle Dash dice with the Sword Soldier etched into the '1' face:

At $5000 every backed copy will come with a BONUS set of plastic coins for each player color (including Black).  They'll be a thicker coin, like so:

 

Castle Dash is 5th Street Games' first title.  We printed a short run to test what people thought about the game, and they liked it!

Dice Tower:  http://www.dicetower.com/game_reviews/c/castle-dash.html

With the first run about sold out, it's time to run a major printing!  The funds pledged to this Kickstarter campaign will go towards producing Castle Dash's next run with better components:  better soldier pieces, printed punch-out coins, and a slick two-piece box!  Swanky.

Any excess funds pledged will go towards a larger print run of Castle Dash, shipping, and future 5th Street Games projects.  We have three additional games ready to go:

  • Crow and the Pitcher, a trick-taking game by Sean MacDonald based on Aesop's fable of the same name
  • Return of Cthulhu, a 2-Player game of saving the world or destroying it, by Phil Kilcrease
  • Make Your Case, a 2-Player game of courtroom control by Phil Kilcrease

Thanks for your support!

FAQ

  • -The 3 & 5 player forms of the game have been improved with the Central Castle variant, which places a castle in the center of the table to sit 'across' from every player.  This forces players to still defend the front of their castles.

    -Better Soldier pawns.  See the updates for pics:  http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1892930431/castle-dash-the-speedy-siege-game/posts

    -Better box.  The first edition was in a VHS box.  This printing will be in an actual 2-part board game box.

    -Punch-out cardboard coins.  This edition will use printed tokens for the cannonballs and coins instead of plastic discs.

    -Better Soldier Pawns.  You can see them in Update #4.

    -Larger Castle Castle Cards.  You can see the new size in Update #5.

  • Kickstarter is a risk-free crowdsource funding platform for creative projects.  Backers pledge to fund projects they like in exchange for rewards at different levels of pledging. 

    HOWEVER:  the money pledged is collected only if the project meets its funding goal.  If the goal is missed by even $1, nobody is charged for their pledges.  There is no risk if the project misses its goal.

  • Why, yes!  Each copy of Castle Dash will come with a seventh playable color in the Black Castle Promo Pack, which includes everything needed to play Castle Dash as the Black Kingdom.

    ALSO, every copy of Castle Dash will come with a Castle Dash Soldier lapel pin.  Both of these exclusives will ONLY be available to Kickstarter backers.

    Select pledge levels will also receive a Soldier Pawn Upgrade Pack for each copy of the game received. The $30, $50, and $60 'KNIGHT' level will include Soldier Pawns as pictured in Update 2.
