# Valkenburg Castle (board game)

Valkenburg Castle is a 1980 board game published by Task Force Games.

## Gameplay

Valkenburg Castle is a fantasy game about a dungeon in which the players use armies to either capture or defend the castle.

## Reception

Jerry Epperson reviewed Valkenburg Castle in The Space Gamer No. 28. Epperson commented that "Valkenburg Castle would be worth the money to a 'hard-core' fantasy gamer; others might do better elsewhere. A lot of good ideas went into this game, but some of them got lost."

John Lambshead reviewed Valkenburg Castle for White Dwarf #21, giving it an overall rating of 8 out of 10, and stated that "It has a good solid system on which a gamer can hang his own favourite rules. At the price it must be considered excellent value for money."

In a retrospective review of Valkenburg Castle in Black Gate, John ONeill said "It was an appealing variation on the classic loot-and-scoot dungeon mechanic, with the added bonus of a compelling backstory, a loyal army, and a chance to win back a crown. What's not to like?"
