Description
The Castles of Burgundy is a
city building game with so many variables it is hard to describe. The game features 12 different types of buildings. Each building type grants either victory
points or a special ability. In addition
there are 26 unique knowledge tiles each with a different ability. There are also six double sided player
boards. Four of the game boards have the
same map on side one for a game where up to 4 players have the same map to play on. The reverse side of these game boards each have a unique map. The two additional player boards have unique maps on both sides
making a total of nine different available to play. Each turn involves a dice roll, two actions
and using as many abilities a player can gather. This is a dice rolling, set
collecting, resource management strategy game.
After playing The Castles of Burgundy the first time I knew that I’d definitely want to play it again and again. The game has a wide variety of ways to score points. And, points can come in bunches. Additionally this game plays well as a 2-player game. A feature that hits the sweet spot for us.
