Only Tyler and I showed up tonight, so we decided to learn Castles of Burgundy by doing a few turns and ended up playing the whole game. It is really a good game, and even played well as a two player as it scales very nicely. I would liken it unto Puerto Rico, except even better. It is euro in nature, but the theme, strategies and components fit together better than most. It would obviously be better with 3-4 players, but we gave it a thumbs up. Tyler capitalized on the shipping strategy and castles, while I completed the farms, mines and knowledge. There is great variability with different player boards and different ways the goods and tiles emerge in the game. It is another game that uses dice uniquely. There are some times when rolls seem random and can frustrate a plan, but there are other elements that can help you modify that.   |
