Before there were nations there were kingdoms, regions ruled by families whose economic and political power was guarded by a castle. This Election Day, declare yourself King or Queen and construct a castle that will be the pride of your people.

Master castle blocks. Learn the arts of straight walls and sharp corners, or the ornate curves and motley lines of free form building. Construct a Royal Family, a Knight, and loyal Citizens.

Discover the meaning of style. We all start with the same blocks and glue. But we all have different pictures of castles in our minds. Everyone builds a castle that is entirely his or her own.

This is a rewarding challenge for all ages.
