After making the Keep Out! activity last week I had an idea for using the castle drawing to make a simple game.

Print out the instructions and game pieces below and give it a try!

It will take a couple of attempts to start to figure out the best strategy – you need to keep an eye on what your opponent is doing and decide whether to ramp up your army or your castle first… But victory is very much down to the roll of the dice and your accuracy in throwing them is crucial!

Feel free to modify the rules if you think you can make it work better. Share your changes in a comment below so others can try your variations!
