I'm thrilled, one of the best boardgame / dexterity games (that worked well enough as straigh figure as well) from my youth is back! www.boardgamegeek.com/game/30328The look is updated yet in vein with the old Crossbows & Catapults. It's one of those 1980's toys I looked forward to collect but the prices are indecent for complete set, so a new incarnation, even updated, work fine with me. Picked up the basic box, it's full of goodies and even if I prefer some element of the old ones (the figure notably), the new ones sure look good and have the same overall big fantasy fun. Can wait to play with my nephews! Anyone a fan as well? |

I have most of the original stuff, castles, trojan horse, giants, ram and dragon....................it was a great game!
I have been eying up the new sets for my kids, pretty nice but not worth what they are asking. I think I will wait to see what they go for around Xmas time...sometimes items like this drop in price around then.

I remember getting CandC for Christmas one year. Hours of fun. Got to be quite a pro at aiming that catapult. Barbarians vs. Vikings...gotta love it. Huh....now you get Knights and Orcs....cool still.

I've been eyeballing the deluxe set for my son for Christmas, but I agree, its a little too pricey at 35 bucks. I'll probably see if I can find online for less. The new sets do look sweet.

It looks like a blast man, my girls would love it, they are odd like that, in fact they are watching the heck out of my Transformers DVD tonight, lol. I will have to look into this too!

Look pretty good. I was trhilled when they remade "Crossbow & Catapult" a few years ago, and even more when I found boxes of it at clearence.
I'll be curious to hear about it when you found out about this new version. Chaotic seems to have good design, this could be fun.

Crossbows and Catapults.... Oh boy.....epic board game!!!!  It was my favorite as a child....  Here's my childhood small collection....    In a Greek forum for the '80s ( retromaniax.gr ) which I'm a member we have a thread with a discussion about the reproduction of the game. I have also make a petition for this reason: Crossbows and Catapults Petition for Reproduction... also I have create and a facebook page: Crossbows and Catapults facebook page
I hope some day Hasbro Inc. makes the dream true...
Friendly Steve  |

I have absolutely no memories of ever owning a single board game. it does look pretty cool though. what time period was it out in? around probably from 80 to 84 I was really big into buying and painting D&D type lead gaming miniatures. I think I would have liked this but do not recall it at all.
