About the game
The story of the castle is enhanced by the addition of the Dark Titan himself: Agranok. An unparalleled threat, Agranok has returned from banishment with a vengeance, and he's bringing new enemies that will test players like never before. The Dark Titan, an expansion for Castle Panic, adds more powerful enemies to the game, as well as new reinforcements and weapons with which the players can defend the castle. The Dark Titan Agranok is a new 8-point monster seeking vengeance, and his support includes the Dark Sorceress, elite monsters, and a boom troll. To defend against these new threats, players will have a Cavalier that fights for them on the board as well as boiling oil and support tokens. The Dark Titan is compatible with The Wizard’s Tower, the first expansion for Castle Panic, for even more of a challenge.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Castle Panic: The Dark Titan is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Castle Panic: The Dark Titan for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Castle Panic: The Dark Titan has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
