However, players can do more if they wish by spending two silver as a free action to gain a black market tile or if a tile they place has a bonus action. While this is less important in 3-4 player games, you absolutely should not make the fatal mistake with any player count of only looking at your own board. Players will earn bonuses for filling in a specific region of their board, which is worth more points if done earlier in the game, or for filling all hexes of a specific color on their entire board.

In 3 players games, one of the space for six-sided tiles next to depot 6 (on the main board) is half dark green, half grey, with letters on it. Although it sounds complicated, in reality The Castles of Burgundy is a straightforward combination of strategy and luck that will gain you the points that you need to win. It is a game that can be enjoyed by every age group- our ten year old beat us by dominating farming! You take on the role of a medieval French aristocrat to build settlements and castles, trade, mine and seek out knowledge to score points!

Great replay value – An ideal game for those who looking for in-depth, strategic challenges with a variety of gameplay options. But you must not forget that if you are filling up mine regions, you’re also scoring points for completing those regions.

But they can be disadvantaged if they choose a poor space for their starting castle, so beginner setups are still better choices for beginners (they don't have to choose a starting castle space), even if other options are not strongly discouraged. Castles of Burgundy holds a special place in our hearts, since it was one of the first Euro games in our collection. The Castles of Burgundy (Special Edition) is played over a series of five rounds, consisting of a minimum of two turns per round. A given knowledge tile may be more helpful at the beginning of the game and relatively useless at the end. You seek to build a Duchy, selecting and placing hex tiles obtained from a main board by allocating dice rolls that can be modified in intriguing and thematic ways.

There is a massive amount of setup, but that’s what happens when a paper computer develops beyond a certain degree of complexity. As always we need to be aware of the cost of playing a tile (2 dice) and the opportunity cost (~8 points). Trade goods appear on the central board each round, and by building ships you can claim little stacks of them, then later sell them for silver and victory points. I never get number 14 because I try to never pay dice for workers, and number 12 is a great pick up towards the beginning of the game.
