Step into prophecy, peril, and powerful magic with Shadowgate: The Living Castle, an epic fantasy board game from Trick Or Treat Studios inspired by the classic Shadowgate video game series—including the Macventure original, the Kemco NES release, and the 2014 remake.

“Five to find, three are one…” The ancient prophecy speaks of relics that must be united to stop the rising darkness. Talimar the Starless, the dreaded Warlock Lord, has descended beneath Castle Shadowgate, preparing to unleash unimaginable chaos upon the Westland. Only the chosen hero can piece together the legendary Staff of Ages, confront the Warlock Lord, and fulfill destiny.

In this competitive 2–4 player adventure game, you will explore the ever-shifting Living Castle, uncover powerful relics and spells, solve riddles, complete quests, and defeat monsters to earn XP (experience points). Choose from eight unique characters, each with their own class, traits, and special abilities. Strategically equip items, answer djinn riddles, and overcome deadly foes as you race against other players to assemble the Staff of Ages and claim the title of High Lord of the Westland.

Perfect for fantasy board game enthusiasts, retro video game fans, and players who love adventure-driven tabletop experiences.
