Players usethese powers to attempt a series of quests that must be completed before thecastle is destroyed.

Crowns and Quests, the newest expansion to Castle Panic, adds 12 playablecharacters with unique abilities that allow players to join the royal court todefend the Castle. Each character is assigned to 1 of the 6 towers at thestart of the game. If that tower is destroyed, the character is lost, and theplayer must continue without that ability.

Players will need those abilities too, since there are now quests that theplayers must try to survive to win the game. At the start of the game, playerschoose 1 Standard Quest and 1 Endgame Quest. Until both of those Quests arecompleted, the pile of Monsters will refill over and over.

Once the Standard Quest isachieved, players move on to the Endgame Quest, which they either complete orperish trying. Endgame Quests feature challenges such as collapsing caves tostop the flow of Monsters, racing against time to destroy a cursed obelisk, andplacing magical portals to teleport the entire Castle to safety. There are11 Standard and 7 Endgame Quests to choose from, providing hours and hours ofreplay as players explore all the different challenges.
