Château Rossignol

Château Rossignol: an elegant and tactical asymmetric duel

Château Rossignol is a 2-player asymmetric game in which thieving ninja cats confront a red panda samurai tasked with protecting five precious vases. The duel unfolds in a mysterious Japanese castle where the nightingale floor exposes intruders with its telltale creaks. Thanks to a secret-programming system, each player plans their actions in advance to outsmart their opponent in fast, tense and elegant matches.

How to play Château Rossignol?

Each player secretly selects an Action card and a nightingale-floor tile. The ninja cats sneak through the shadows, using secret passages and equipment to collect the five treasures scattered throughout the castle. The samurai patrols, blocks exits and tries to catch the three ninjas before they escape. Special items and equipment spice up each game and refresh strategies in duels that last about 20 minutes.
