A castle-siege game of applied physics, drawn in ink on parchment. Drag the trebuchet back, watch the dotted arc, and let fly — stone blocks tumble, defenders flee in comic terror, and the crown must fall. Three castles, each sillier than the last.

Unlimited boulders, no fail state, and the mortar crumbles if a castle is being stubborn. Fewer boulders is a better score. Built for an earlier edition of this site; it stayed because it is good.
