Nostalgia Returns with the 1980s Classic from Goliath, Crossbows & Catapults

RICHARDSON, Texas, Aug. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Global leader in the toys and games industry, Goliath, is partnering with Restoration Games (RG) to bring back the 1980s cult classic board game Crossbows & Catapults (C&C). Restoration Games is committed to reviving out-of-print gems from the 1960s to 1990s and reigniting nostalgic fun to board game nights. In less than one month, their Kickstarter campaign for the game garnered just under $1 million in support.

The crossbow-firing, catapult-launching action game is all about building and defending your castle while trying to knock down your opponent's build. As with previous games RG has revived in the past, C&C will be given a premium update with extra castle components, re-engineered artillery pieces, and additional game pieces and figurines.

The refurbished game will maintain the integrity of the original while introducing an upgraded experience for a new generation of players. In the last few years, passionate gamers have seen a resurgence in retro entertainment and C&C promises to satisfy this steady demand.

"Current trends show that appreciation for vintage novelties continues to grow. We are thrilled to team up with Restoration Games to bring 'Crossbows & Catapults' back to life," says Brian Weiss, President of North America at Goliath. "There is no better way to show our appreciation to our fans than by introducing them to a piece of our childhood that brought us so much joy during simpler times."

"We've made it our mission to re-envision antique games and reintroduce them to modern gamers," says Suzanne Sheldon, Head of Marketing and Master of Fireworks at Restoration Games. "Crossbows & Catapults has been one of the most requested games from fans and we could not be more ecstatic to have the collaborative support of Goliath as this endeavor is brought to fruition."

Goliath will bring C&C to the global market in the Fall of 2024. To learn more about the company's corporate news and latest products, please visit http://www.goliathgames.com.
