The Castles of Burgundy

Suveränt brädspel till ett bra pris!

We’ve playing this sooo much! The boardgame arrived on time and I can’t complain with the quality. I just wished the board is sturdier though rather than flimsy paper. Otherwise, a very good boardgame! I would love to buy the deluxe edition for sure.

Tolles Brettspiel für Leute, die gerne Taktik und ein bisschen Glück vereinen wollen. Das Spiel hat eine einzigartige Dynamik. Das Spiel kam auch unbeschädigt an (wovor ich ein wenig Sorgen hatte zuerst, da sich einige über beschädigte Brettspiele bei Amazon Lieferungen beschwert hatten)

Alles goed ontvangen en in goede staat.

Castles of Burgundy is one of the most famous "Euro" style board games, published in 2011 and widely praised. In 2019, this new edition came out and it basically includes the base game plus eight expansions, seven of which were previously released as promotional items and one new to this release. So basically you get the same game but with more variety through new player boards. There is no reason to buy the original edition over this one - if you're interested in this game, either buy this 2019 edition or wait for a future edition (there is one planned for 2023). What is this game all about? The Castles of Burgundy is set in the Burgundy region of High Medieval France and each player is an aristocrat looking to expand their kingdom through building castles, trading along the river, exploring silver mines, etc. In a turn, each player rolls two dice and uses the results, which can be manipulated with the aid of workers, to get tiles from a common board and then eventually placing them onto their kingdom. Placing tiles gives you bonuses and allows players to chain combinations, while also awarding Victory Points. The game is played over a fixed number of rounds (25 total) and, at the end, the player with the most VPs is the winner. Positives: + Easy to learn but with good depth + Ideal to start non boardgamers into the hobby + Variability with the new player boards and two games never play the same also because of random tile placement + Allows 1-4 players + Great value for money, the game is surprisingly cheap compared to other board games Negatives: - The kingdom boards are extremely flimsy. This is something that hasn't been changed from the 2019 edition and I understand this is meant to keep both the price and the box size down. - Plays best with lower player count, wouldn't recommend it with 4 players - Diehard board gamers might not enjoy the dice mechanic Highly recommended!
