With Château Rossignol, Sand Castle Games presents an asymmetric two-player duel designed by Bruno Cathala, Eliette Fraile, and Jérémy Fraile, and illustrated by Vincent Dutrait. Set in a world inspired by traditional Japan, one player takes on the role of stealthy ninjas attempting to infiltrate a castle and steal valuable treasures, while the other plays the vigilant guardian who uses “nightingale floors” to detect intruders. Fast-paced, tense, and highly tactical, the game emphasizes stealth, anticipation, and hand management, offering dynamic twenty-minute sessions supported by a strong visual identity and immersive asymmetric gameplay.
