Look, on the hill! A great old castle that's surely filled with treasure and who knows what else? Let's go exploring to see what we'll find... In Der Schatz von Castellina, the players need to search inside the castle to collect the color-coded treasure marked on their individual treasure boards – but they can't look inside the castle while they search. (Apparently no one thought to bring a torch!) They reach a hand inside the castle to feel among the treasures before them and (with luck) pull out something that they need. The players aren't completely in the dark, though, as they do get to watch other players search for their treasures. If you pay attention, you'll know where your goods are hiding when it comes time to grab the goods!
Der Schatz von Castellina supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. 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 Der Schatz von Castellina is 15 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 Der Schatz von Castellina for ages 5 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.
